Montreal Canadiens: Marc Bergevin Always Signs Veteran Centres, Could it be Brian Boyle Next?

The Montreal Canadiens have been busy this offseason. They have added top nine forwards Tyler Toffoli and Josh Anderson. They added top four defenceman Joel Edmundson and they acquired backup goaltender Jake Allen to fill a position of need.

These additions make the Habs better, but it also brings them dangerously close to the salary cap. If general manager Marc Bergevin is going to add anyone else, it will have to be for less than a million dollars per year.

One position that Bergevin loves to add depth to is his fourth line centre. He is constantly signing and trading for veteran players that are reliable defensively, good at faceoffs and can play fourth line centre.
