Eric Engels of SportsNet: Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin possesses an abundance of riches and pieces to dangle in trades. Yes, Montreal did little in the summer but there are still chances to improve. The restricted free agent market offers a little window of potential in the next few days and weeks.
Again, Montreal has 12 picks, $7 million in cap space, and a full roster which allows Bergevin options. Yes, Montreal appear happy with team chemistry but if there are opportunities, they will be explored.
“Marc and I are on the phone every day and you never know what can happen moving forward,” the owner said.
