## Resource

Brendan Gallagher’s future with the Canadiens looks bleak despite his contract, as he’s likely headed for free agency after feeling disrespected and being benched late in the season. Meanwhile, a potential trade for Matthew Knies fell through, and Montreal should prioritize acquiring a center—either via trade or free agency—since Jake Evans filled the role in the playoffs. While free agency offers opportunities to address defensive and wing needs, the biggest move might be locking up Ivan Demidov, who could sign a long-term extension and become a cornerstone of the team’s future.
