The Montreal Canadiens are off to a tremendous start to the 2016-17 season. However, a good start doesn’t stop the rumour mill from swirling and the Canadiens find themselves in the middle of trade rumours already.
Though they have a great record so far, the Habs haven’t found a perfect balance on their blue line. Rookie Mikhail Sergachev is the seventh defender right now, but at 18 years old, will likely be sent back to Junior. Zach Redmond also made the team as a depth defender, but he is injured and out long term.
The Canadiens are getting great hockey from number one defenseman Shea Weber.
