Things got a lot more complicated for the Montreal Canadiens than they appeared to be at the conclusion of a surprising long playoff run. We learned that Shea Weber is dealing with serious injury issues that could keep him out for a long time, and possible bring an end to his career. There were also reports that Phillip Danault would be free to test free agency, removing one of the forward options the team was probably hoping to protect.
As a result, the decisions for the skaters pretty well fell into place, with few hard choices left to make.
