Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n

The Calgary Flames<\/a> are looking for some scoring punch and could be a logical partner for the Canadiens, having shown significant interest in one of their forwards in the past.<\/p>\n

For decades Canadiens fans<\/a> were told they wouldn\u2019t tolerate a rebuild. But that wasn\u2019t true. They simply wanted a clear long-term plan. They also wanted to have fun. With both these important factors covered, the rebuild is off to a great start.<\/p>\n

Prospect Watch<\/a>: Take a look at Farrell\u2019s great special teams production, Rohrer\u2019s sustained production, and Simoneau\u2019s uptick in production.<\/p>\n

Canadiens Wrap-Up<\/a>: This week\u2019s Canadiens headlines include the Canaeiens\u2019 current trade strategy, Kirby Dach\u2019s development, Mike Hoffman\u2019s trade value and more.<\/p>\n
