The Montreal Canadiens need a 2C, but that should not stop them from improving their team in other ways. How can they accomplish that this summer? Ian Boisvert and Laura Saba break down why acquiring a top-6 winger would be a good idea for the Canadiens even if they are not able to add a 2C. The NHL and NHLPA ratified their new CBA this week. Ian and Laura discuss the changes they like and the ones they don't. And finally, after reviewing the Atlantic division teams, the Metropolitan division gets its turn on Locked On Canadiens.
