The Montreal Canadiens may not be big players in free agency today once again. They simply don’t have the roster spots due to so many veteran wingers making big money.
The team also isn’t in a place to contend so they are not looking for that missing piece that will put them over the top. Instead, they will stay quieter and try to pounce on a lower priced player or two that could help them in the long run.
One player that will not be re-signing with the Canadiens and therefore will surely be hitting the open market is Jonathan Drouin.
