The Montreal Canadiens have been able to re-sign all of their unrestricted free agents forwards thus far. They still have to get Artturi Lehkonen, Joel Armia and Charles Hudon signed, but as restricted free agents, it’s highly likely they will all be back next season.
That will give the Canadiens 16 forwards on the roster who played games for them last season. Most teams carry 14 forwards on their roster and Montreal will likely do that as well. That means they already have a couple of tough decisions to make.
