There has been talk for some time: Tyler Toffoli will be a free agent on July 1st, and his return to Montreal is truly desired by the fans.
Indeed, Toffoli is not only a high-quality veteran for the young players, but he is also a sharp scorer who would greatly help the Canadiens' top 6, while waiting for the young players to develop.
According to Arpon Basu, it won't be easy, compromises will be necessary, but it's possible to reach an agreement between him and Kent Hughes.
«I think Tyler Toffoli enjoyed his time in Montreal [...] maybe the Canadiens could make it work.
Four years is not exaggerated, even though I think it's a bit longer than what the Canadiens would like for a free agent. If he's willing to accept a four-year contract, then yes, Kent Hughes should at least inquire.»
Adding to this statement, a photo of Tyler with his former teammates set the web ablaze, as Jake Evans got married in the last few days.
This is reminiscent of other photos of him in Montreal and Toronto, with a Canadiens jersey.
At the risk of repeating myself, Toffoli would be a great acquisition for Kent Hughes. He surely won't be his plan A, but if his other plans fall through, he should definitely consider him.
