It’s no secret that the Montreal Canadiens’ roster is pretty well full after free agency, including locking down a few of their own restricted free agents. However two of those RFAs still remain without a contract — forwards Michael McCarron and Kerby Rychel — both of whom have shown flashes of their top potential, but lack the consistency to claim an NHL spot full time.
Finding a place for either of these players would not be an easy task for Claude Julien and his NHL staff. The Canadiens have a number of players locked into spots on the wing and down the middle.
