We had 2 goals coming in, acquiring a top 6 forward and top 4 d-man. We did both of those with the acquisitions with Lee and De Haan, we believe we have one of the deepest rosters in the league and look forward to making a hard push for Lord Stanley's cup next season.

We are very happy with our offseason. Our main priority was our center depth and we were able to fix it quickly with the acquisitions of Leon Draisaitl and Victor Rask. With Ryan Poeling who should knock at the door sooner than later, we really like our new depth. We believe that our offense is not only a lot better than last year but also deeper. On defense, we have added Ben Hutton who should help to solidify our left side. Considering Victor Mete progression and the fact that Karl Alzner is a better fit on the bottom pairing at this point in his career, we believe that our defense is now well balanced. We also like the fact that we were able to add two high end defensemen at the draft, Ty Smith and Mattias Samuelsson. The future is bright in Habs land!
EDIT : Defense also improved by the late acquisition of Kevan Miller from the Bruins.
