Although he underachieved considerably this season and has a pricey cap hit, there’s still a case to be made that Tomas Plekanec is worth protecting from the Expansion Draft.

Montreal’s centre depth at the end of the season was, to put it nicely, lousy. Unfortunately for the team, it’s an issue for the other areas of the organization as well.

Andrei Markov is the longest tenured player with the Canadiens having been with them since being drafted in 1998. He once again played a key role this past season and is set to hit the open market next month; what type of contract will it take to keep him?

Montreal’s defensive decision in expansion is well known but the battle between a solid prospect and a veteran is an important one up front.

The Habs ensured that one of their trade deadline acquisitions will be sticking around a little while longer as they signed Andreas Martinsen to a one year, $675,000 contract on Monday.

With Alex Galchenyuk spending most of the season on the left wing, that position was one of strength for the Habs. How is it looking at that spot in the rest of the organization?

Nathan Beaulieu may have more upside but Jordie Benn’s dependability and solid contract make him a better bet to protect in the upcoming expansion draft.

The playoffs final round is finally here! This should be an exciting series to watch, with last season’s Stanley Cup winners facing off against an opponent making it to the finals for their first time.
