Prospects vying to fill scoring role on Canadiens

BROSSARD, Quebec -- The Montreal Canadiens entered this offseason with a need for scoring, and barring any drastic moves from general manager Marc Bergevin it looks like that need will be filled from within.

Bergevin has not signed an unrestricted free agent since the market opened July 1 but acquired forward Zack Kassian from the Vancouver Canucks for Brandon Prust, which could be considered an upgrade offensively.

Aside from that, assuming the status quo is maintained, it looks as though the scoring boost might need to come from one or perhaps two of the players that completed the Canadiens development camp Thursday.
