Player movement around the Montreal Canadiens may have to happen sooner rather than later now that the All-Star Break is over. It was common knowledge before that Shea Weber, who has missed the past 16 games, and Andrew Shaw, who has missed the last 6, would return after the All-Star events were over with.
Ales Hemsky is still around as well and continues to skate with the team at practice. Once any or all come off injured reserve, the Habs will need to make transitions. Not necessarily trades considering the full lineup, in this case, could just be fixed with waivers, assuming management doesn’t have any long-term plans for the other players involved.
