Following the acquisitions of Jake Allen and Joel Edmundson, CapFriendly projects the Montreal Canadiens to have about $10.2 million in cap space heading into the 2020 off-season. They still have some question marks on the restricted-free-agent front with Max Domi and Victor Mete, but they stand to be one of the bigger budget teams.
Allen and Edmundson fill their own important needs, but the Canadiens as it stands have yet to acquire the one thing they sorely lacked throughout last season. They have yet to actuire some top-tier scoring talent.
