Who or do we off a PTO too. Normally teams will do one or two for preseason.
I can see us offering one to Sami Vatanen
Thoughts?

Kevin Roy for the AHL.
Zajac, Gusev, Demers, Vatanen.
Some Quebecois and maybe Zajac.
Is taxi squad still a thing?
What about James Neal?
Wouldn't mind seeing Travis Zajac.
I wanted Bozak, but he signed to stay in St. Louis.
But like Bozak, Zajac is a veteran center that will help shore up your center position, adding some experience. He had 20 pts in 46 GP last year, so he can get you some points.
And one of the things I really look at (as I did with Bozak), Zajac has been over 50% his entire career in the face-off circle.
So with Dvorak, who is great on face-offs, and Evans who has been over 50% his two NHL seasons so far, having another center who can win most of his draws would help a lot. Habs can count on three centers who will help them start with the puck more often than not. Only Suzuki would be the one who has struggled in face-offs (and maybe he has improved that aspect).
And this is a PTO thread, but I wouldn't mind them signing him to a 1-year deal if it's something Zajac is interested in.
I think I remember reading that Zajac wasn't interested in leaving the Tri-State area. So I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign a PTO with one of the Bruins, Rangers, Isles, Devils or PensWouldn't mind seeing Travis Zajac.

Either of those Dmen considered PMD?Hoping they give Vatanen/Demers a look, would be nice not to go with 2RD/5LD split on roster again.
Frederik Gauthier for C depth/Laval. I'd give Gusev a shot too but no room.
Hopefully Juulsen ends up on waivers lolI think Bergevin probably has a list of RD puck moving defense that will likely be put on waivers by their team, and will try to snag one that way. Could be a longer term solution if it works out, as remaining UFA's really don't meet the needs of the team or fit in the desirable age group.
