**9. Montreal Canadiens**
***Goal Difference added: 5.6***
***Salary added: $0.3 million***
In: Alex Newhook
Out: Jonathan Drouin, Joel Edmundson
It’s unfortunate that it never really worked out for Jonathan Drouin in Montreal. A perfect fit that never quite fit. His departure creates extra room for Montreal’s stable of young forwards to show their worth, one of which is the newly acquired Alex Newhook. The Canadiens paid a premium for Newhook and while the model isn’t quite sold yet on him, it’s easy to be optimistic after seeing how the team rehabilitated Kirby Dach last year.
The big win for Montreal though comes via addition by subtraction. Joel Edmundson was once a defensive beast for the Canadiens, but those days are long gone and the team is much better with him far, far away from their lineup. Most of the goal difference that Montreal added this offseason is simply by way of trading Edmundson away.
