Before the Habs start thinking the big fish on the free agent market, they need to free up a few dollars and be in a winning situation.

Today, it was Eric Engels’ turn to do so.
We know that DeBrusk’s career in Boston hasn’t always been smooth sailing, and although things have settled down recently, he seems to be on the way out.
We know the Flames and/or Oilers could be really interested (the winger hails from Alberta), but Montreal would be a logical destination too. DeBrusk is only 27, wouldn’t cost an arm and brings talent and energy. He’s a guy capable of putting up 40-50 points a season.
With the team’s future in mind, Montreal officials, who will be making calls to free agents in the near future, will have arguments to use to attract good players to the city.
