The Montreal Canadiens biggest need may not be a stud right defenceman. However, when a player as good as Alex Pietrangelo comes available, you have to look into it.
The Montreal Canadiens biggest need for the longest time was centres. The last time they were in the playoffs, their best centre by far was Phillip Danault and he scored 40 points playing on the top line with Max Pacioretty and Alex Radulov. Finding four people to play down the middle in that series without putting Torrey Mitchell on the third line was difficult.
