Renaud Lavoie: The Canadiens will not buy out anyone this offseason.
Eric Engels: Appears very likely that Alex Galchenyuk gets traded. There is a good possibility that they will get a defenseman in return.
Bob McKenzie: Think that after the Drouin trade it’s more likely that Galchenyuk gets traded.
Jim Matheson: [Matheson] thinks a Galchenyuk for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins trade makes sense for the Canadiens if they don’t think Galchenyuk can play center.
Andy Graziano: The Canadiens were believed to be one of the teams interested in Matt Duchene, but after trading Mikhail Sergachev, they don’t appear to be anymore.
