The Montreal Canadiens are battling several injuries at the moment. Alex Galchenyuk has been out for a month with a knee injury. David Desharnais has been sidelined almost as long. Andrew Shaw was recently placed on injured reserve. The Habs should look to the waiver wire for reinforcements and grab Reid Boucher.
The Canadiens last waiver claim has worked out extremely well. Paul Byron was plucked for free prior to the start of the 2015-16 season. Byron currently ranks second on the team with 12 goals and is tied for third in points with 23.
It would be difficult for anyone coming off waivers to match that output.
