2018 UFA Preview: Forwards

Beyond John Tavares, the UFA forward crop is thin indeed, particularly at centre, however, there are a few intriguing options the Canadiens could take a look at.
Beyond John Tavares, the UFA forward crop is thin indeed, particularly at centre, however, there are a few intriguing options the Canadiens could take a look at.
It’s no secret that the Canadiens would like to add some more offensive firepower to the team for the upcoming season. Given the Habs’ depth at wing they may be wiser to pursue UFA options at centre in a relatively weak forward pool this offseason.
This year there are a number of intriguing UFA forwards available, with the range and depth of talent being significantly more impressive than in recent years. The timing is good for the Habs, as they could clearly use some help up front.
July 1st at noon EST marks the official beginning of the free agency period although teams began to talk with pending UFA’s as early as last Thursday. Make your predictions on who lands where in our UFA pool.
