The Montreal Canadiens have been patient the past few years. Is this the right year to go for it?

The Montreal Canadiens have been pretty patient the past three seasons. After losing Andrei Markov and Alexander Radulov in the summer of 2017, the Habs have been extremely cautious with their money and haven’t made any big trades to try and make the team better.

Being stuck in the same division as the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning have made it difficult to contend for even a division title.
