While Marc Bergevin has suggested that the Habs aren’t likely to be too active by Monday’s trade deadline, here are some players he may be looking into over the coming days.
Although the road hasn’t been too kind to Laval this season, they had a decent showing on the road and picked up some key points in the process.
The road was not kind to the Habs last week as they dropped all three games and as a result, they’ve basically blown their cushion on Carolina for a playoff spot.
We’ve now reached the top five in our prospect rankings series. There aren’t too many surprises in this group as our writers felt Montreal’s top group was pretty well established heading into the season.
January wasn’t a great month for Laval but a handful of players played quite well. As for Montreal’s other prospects, several CHL players led the way.
Monday’s acquisition of Nate Thompson meant that another roster spot needed to be opened up. Michael Chaput is the one losing his spot on the roster after clearing waivers on Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, Laval had strong goaltending but couldn’t score. Last week, they were able to light the lamp a few times but the goaltending let the team down in a pair of losses.
Kenny Agostino’s time with the Canadiens has come to an end. After being placed on waivers on Sunday, he was claimed by New Jersey on Monday.
Fresh off a decent showing on Super Bowl weekend, the Habs had another strong week as they collected five of a possible six points to wrap up their lengthy home stand.
