The Montreal Canadiens have held on to cap space for three straight seasons. They have tabled into trade and free agent talks but haven’t really acquired a big name player with a heavy price tag. The players they do acquire are usually traded in one-for-one type trades for a player making a similar salary.
With all of the available cap space and a team that needs an upgrade to be included among Stanley Cup contender status, the Montreal Canadiens have been linked to Taylor Hall in various rumours over the past few weeks.
The Canadiens could definitely use a “game-breaker” type of player.
