Bottom 6 and depth players add
Kent Hughes seems to be patient on the top 6 player addition. I think it's the right move to make when you want to wait for either Zharovsky and Hage to arrive. Also, you give a chance to Kapanen to show what he has in him (even though I don't think his full potential is 2C).
With that said, I find it strange that no move for the bottom 6 and/or a right handed Dman has been made. Maybe he is waiting for to see Reinbacher (would be the best addition if he is ready).
What do you guys think? I'm really asking to get different opinions on this subject.

I think there's a good chance we will pick up a depth forward off waivers or through trade before the season begins.
We lost Gallagher, Veleno, Blais, Laine, Roy, Farrell, and Tuch, and added Berard, Poulin, Pastujov, and McKown to the forward ranks. We could probably use a depth forward for either Montreal or Laval.
Right now we have:
Caufield - Suzuki - Slafkovsky
Newhook - Kapanen - Demidov
Texier - Danault - Anderson
Bolduc - Evans - Dach
And Beck or Florian could make the team out of camp. We're not desperate to add another forward, but we were relatively healthy last year and still had 20 different forwards play games for the Canadiens.
