The surprise behind Karl Alzner‘s waive is long gone, and with the 30-year-old with the Laval Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens have some time to breath. Well, not exactly.
Montreal still has decisions to make as the calendar gets closer to the day injured players in Paul Byron, Nikita Scherbak, Joel Armia, and Noah Juulsen return. Additionally, just because Alzer is in the AHL, it doesn’t mean he would like to stay there.
As I pointed out in a previous article, the Montreal Canadiens have their options as to how they can handle the veteran’s status within the organization moving forward.
