The regular season is winding down, and a playoff spot is nearly unattainable for the Montreal Canadiens.
With the trade deadline coming up on February 29, the team will not be looking to add pieces for a playoff run, as they did the previous two seasons, bringing in Thomas Vanek and Jeff Petry, but rather be the team to offload some players on expiring contracts to teams with Stanley Cup aspirations.
Originally acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks for Raphael Diaz, Dale Weise performed much better than his stats indicated he was capable of at the time.
