According to Pierre LeBrun, the Montreal Canadiens looked into the possibility of bringing back defenceman Alexei Emelin from the Vegas Golden Knights.
Hearing that the Habs have investigated trying to get Emelin back from Vegas. Not sure if they'll proceed, however...

The timing of this is not known. Was this done before the Habs traded for David Schlemko? After?
Here is what we do know. The Canadiens are looking for defencemen, especially on the left side. Emelin is a left-handed defenceman.
