With the regular season closing in, the Montreal Canadiens came closer to finalizing their opening-night roster, barring any other transactions. That included placing AHL star Kenny Agostino and veteran Michael Chaput on waivers for the purpose of assigning them to the Laval Rocket.
Agostino and Chaput were originally signed as AHL depth, but their performances during the pre-season put them on the NHL radar, and made the decisions difficult for Claude Julien and the rest of the Canadiens coaching staff.
They should be major contributors for the Rocket if they clear waivers.
