Montreal Canadiens transactions were fast and furious in the offseason. When most teams were sitting back and trying to find ways to cut payrolls and keep expenses to a minimum, the Habs were spending freely.

They brought in Josh Anderson, Tyler Toffoli, Corey Perry, Michael Frolik, Joel Edmundson and Jake Allen to a team that surprised many with a four game series win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2020 postseason.

The new additions were nice and made the Habs a much deeper team, but changing over a roster so quickly can lead to some bumps in the road.
