If the Habs are looking to add a power forward with the third-overall pick in next week’s draft, they’ll certainly be considering Boston University’s Brady Tkachuk.
The Habs have strong depth on the left side up front but can the same be said for the rest of the organization? Our depth series continues with a look at Montreal’s left winger situation.

One of Montreal’s pending restricted free agents is heading for Germany as centre Markus Eisenschmid has signed a two-year contract with Adler Mannheim of the DEL.
No single position has changed as much as Montreal’s defence over the past year. Several newcomers were added in the NHL while they drafted four others last June. Despite that, a lot of work still needs to be done on the back end.
