A look ahead to the opening day roster with Semin and Kassian in the lineup

Now that the Canadiens have acquired a talented winger, it's time to project some of the possible forward lines for next season.

The Habs currently have 14 forwards under contract, which will eventually rise to 15 once Alex Galchenyuk signs his contract extension. They have 9 defencemen that are waiver eligible as well, leading many to point out that some sort of trade is on the horizon.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadiens traded one of their auxiliary defencemen, however the forward logjam is partially cleared up by simply sending Jacob de la Rose to the minors.
