The Habs have added some centre depth to the organization as they’ve signed Byron Froese and Peter Holland to two year contracts.
It’s no secret that the Canadiens would like to add some more offensive firepower to the team for the upcoming season. Given the Habs’ depth at wing they may be wiser to pursue UFA options at centre in a relatively weak forward pool this offseason.
Montreal’s list of restricted free agents continues to be cut down as on Wednesday, they re-signed centre Jacob de la Rose to a one year, $725,000 deal.
Monday at 5:00 PM EST was the deadline for teams to submit their qualifying offers. The Habs had 12 players that required one but only four were actually tendered.
The Habs were busy early on in the second day of the 2017 draft as they made two picks in both the second and third rounds. They had six picks in total after making a late trade with Philadelphia. Here is a breakdown of their selections.
The Habs added some much-needed depth down the middle on Friday, selecting centre Ryan Poehling from St. Cloud State of the NCAA with the 25th overall pick of the draft.

There was a bit of a surprise in the Expansion Draft as the Golden Knights opted to not select prospect Charles Hudon from Montreal. Instead, the player heading to Vegas is defenceman Alexei Emelin.
