The Montreal Canadiens are looking to build on their surprising playoff appearance last season, despite having a young roster. With a focus on becoming true contenders, they may target New York Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere, who had an off year and is rumored to be on the trading block. Lafreniere, the former first overall pick, could be an excellent addition to the Canadiens' core, alongside stars like Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This move would boost Montreal's offensive capabilities as they seek to enhance their playoff prospects.
