The Montreal Canadiens are coming off a lengthy playoff run but they have a fair bit of business to take care of in the near future.
Coming up first is going to be their protection list for the expansion draft which is due by Saturday. The list will be made public on Sunday and the Seattle Kraken expansion draft will take place on Wednesday, July 21.
Shortly after that, there is the NHL Draft. The first round will take place on Friday, July 23 with rounds 2-7 being hammered out the following day.
