The Montreal Canadiens continue to take care of business early in the offseason. They have already traded three picks for goaltender Jake Allen and left defenceman Joel Edmundson to add some depth to the lineup.
Yesterday, they made their qualifying offers to restricted free agents and there weren’t really any surprises.
The Habs had eight players that were eligible to be qualified and three players look like they will be walking away from the organization.
When a restricted free agent sees his contract expire, the team has to extend him a qualifying offer to retain his services.
