Some interesting players have yet to sign contracts for the upcoming season.
Two Islanders forwards remain unsigned and could catch the Canadiens' interest, according to TVA Sports.
The physical Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin could provide both physicality and experience to the young Montreal squad.
While they might not make a significant impact offensively, they would bring valuable qualities to Martin St-Louis' team, especially in the locker room.
It's worth noting that they were part of one of the best, if not the best, fourth lines in the NHL. Casey Cizikas, Martin, and Clutterbuck were a real menace on the ice for opposing teams.
«If General Manager Kent Hughes is looking to make a move in the weeks leading up to training camp, he might consider two players known for their physical play.
Thus, forwards Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin remain unrestricted free agents after spending recent years with the New York Islanders.»

The Islanders are constrained by the salary cap, so it would be surprising if the two players returned to the organization led by Lou Lamoriello and Patrick Roy.
Without making a huge splash, one of these players could be an interesting asset for the Canadiens, helping to mentor their young players.
