The Montreal Canadiens biggest need this summer if to find a left defenseman that can play in the top four. Ideally, they will add someone that can play on the top pairing. If that can’t be found, they need to find someone to fill in on the second pairing with Jeff Petry.
If no one is brought in, they would have Victor Mete playing on the top pair, and Brett Kulak slotting in beside Jeff Petry on the second pair. That would be a bit of a risk as it may be asking too much of Mete to be a top pairing guy next season.
