Montreal Canadiens general manager (GM) Marc Bergevin has had a very busy offseason since the team was eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers. The Vancouver Canucks are hard at it this morning. Wennberg signs a 1 year deal in Florida. The deal also leaves Montreal without a lot of cap space in free agency, $5.368 million per CapFriendly which compares his new deal to those of three Stanley Cup winners and the player who just won the Selke. He's expected to hit the market tomorrow, but the Bruins have left the door open for them to reconnect once Krug sees what's out there. Paul Byron would be the one player that would provide Bergevin the most cushion. 4:33 p.m. — Bruins bring back Kevan Miller. There are trade options, too, like Marc-Andre Fleury, after Vegas signed Robin Lehner to a $25 million, five-year contract that could set a precedent for Markstrom, Holtby and the others.

If there’s some ability to add a player on the right deal at the right cap price and the right term, we’ll do it. Byron’s remaining three years at $3.4 million per season would allow Bergevin the cap space to fill in depth forwards at league minimum. permissions/licensing, please go to: www.TorontoStarReprints.com.
