Rebuilding the Montreal Canadiens
The date is July 1st, 2021 and free agency has just begun. The Montreal Canadiens once a storied franchise have fallen down to the bottom of the National Hockey League Standings finishing with records of 28-46-8 (4th last) in 2019/2020 and 25-50-7 in 2020/21 (3rd last) and have just dismissed their long time GM Marc Bergevin.
For years the Canadiens have been langishing in a holding pattern between competing and rebuilding and it just hasn't produced the desired results. The decision was made to bring in GM Ryan Stewart to finally do what is necessary, to tear the team down to the studs and rebuild through the draft. The Canadines have a couple of good looking young players that they have drafted in the past 3 years that shoud form the core of the team for yrars to come.
So lets meet the 2021/2022 Montreal Canadiens as they sit on the opening day of Free Agency (July 1st, 2021).
