Montreal’s defence corps has undergone some changes in recent years and it appears that this may very well be the case again in this offseason.
On Tuesday, the Habs took care of one of their restricted free agents, signing Dale Weise to a two year contract.
Defensive depth was a bit of a stumbling block for Montreal in the 2013-2014 season and while the cupboard isn’t bare, it wouldn’t hurt to keep to it stocked with some solid defensive talent.
With the draft and free agency now less than a month away, Marc Bergevin and his staff will be busy putting together their wish lists for who they want to draft and sign.
The Habs wasted no time making some announcements after the Stanley Cup Final concluded in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
The acquisition of Mike Weaver was quickly dismissed as merely acquiring depth in case of injury but it didn’t take long for him to make his mark on the team.
Andrei Markov’s contract situation has garnered a lot of attention lately.
Andrei Markov is the longest tenured Hab, having been part of the organization since being drafted in 1998.
Fans of the Habs have been through many emotions in just a short period of time since Thomas Vanek was acquired on Trade Deadline day.
