The offence is still a work in progress but it didn’t stop the Habs from sweeping all four of their games this past week. The IceCaps weren’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard either but they managed to win a pair of games in their latest 3-in-3 stretch as well.

While the Habs didn’t make the big splash many were expecting, GM Marc Bergevin was still quite active by making five trades in the 48 hours leading up to the deadline. Our writers offer up their thoughts on the moves.

Barring something unforeseen, the Laval Rocket should have one of the top scorers in the AHL in uniform next season as the Habs inked winger Chris Terry to a one year extension on Friday.

The Habs added some more bottom six depth in advance of the trade deadline, acquiring left winger Dwight King from Los Angeles in exchange for a conditional 4th round pick in 2018.

The Habs and Avalanche hooked up on a trade on Wednesday but not the deal many were hoping for as Montreal dealt Sven Andrighetto to Colorado for winger Andreas Martinsen.

After moving David Desharnais last night, the Habs moved quickly Wednesday morning to replace the depth down the middle, acquiring Steve Ott from Detroit in exchange for a 2018 6th round pick.

The Habs made a trade during Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets as they moved centre David Desharnais to Edmonton in exchange for defenceman Brandon Davidson.

The Habs made a deal on Monday to change up their depth on the blueline, trading Greg Pateryn and a 2017 4th round pick to Dallas in exchange for defenceman Jordie Benn.

The road was kind to the Habs this past week as they picked up a pair of key victories away from the Bell Centre. Meanwhile, home ice continues to not provide St. John’s with any sort of advantage although they did pick up three of four points.

There’s no denying the Habs need help up front. While there’s a good chance they’ll look to simply add via the rental route, there are a few forwards in Montreal who could potentially be on the move.
