It would be surprising if CH took the risk of losing Barron to another team. We will remember that last year the team made every effort not to lose Cayden Primeau to waivers and started the season with three goalies; A situation that lasted until Jake Allen was traded at the trade deadline.

The Canadiens begin their season on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but like all other teams, they must submit their roster to the league by Monday at 5 p.m.
