The Montreal Canadiens have played well all season and were playing well heading into the Olympic break, but they are still expected to make at least one upgrade before the trade deadline that approaches quickly after the NHL games start back up.

This is seen as a transition year, the first without Mitch Marner, and attempting to build a more rounded team with the money. That hasn't really worked out, but they are still in the race if they have a strong finish to the season. According to Pierre...
