After a disappointing game 7 loss to the San Jose Sharks, I decided it was time to shake things up a bit. The defence and toughness of the team became apparently lacking in that game 7, so via the draft, trades and free agency, I addressed those issues. I'll post the depth chart, and then go over how notable players were acquired to Montreal.
