The offseason having now officially begun, free agency is right around the corner, set to start on July 28, only a few days after the expansion and entry drafts. That means starting July 28, the Montreal Canadiens will have nine free agents that could go almost anywhere – if they don’t re-sign any by then.
There are seven free agents that are forwards: Corey Perry, Joel Armia, Phillip Danault, Eric Staal, Tomas Tatar, Artturi Lehkonen, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
