The Montreal Canadiens are closely monitoring hot topics across the NHL. A newly available forward could interest the Tricolore.
The Buffalo Sabres have reportedly decided to move forward with buying out Jeff Skinner's massive contract.
The forward will become a free agent on July 1st. After two seasons of scoring 30 goals for the Sabres, his production dropped to 24 goals and 42 points last season.
With a decent salary, Jeff Skinner has an intriguing profile for several teams looking to add a veteran to their offensive lineup.
At 32 years old, he has already played over 1000 games in the top league worldwide. Skinner is also very effective on the power play and could complement a second or third line on a deep team.
Could the Canadiens be among the teams vying to sign Jeff Skinner? Asking the question seems to answer it.
