The free agency market will open on July 1st, but although some players are theoretically still under contract, they have signed in Europe and are leaving the Canadiens organization.
Indeed, these are five players who played for the Laval Rocket last season. See the official announcement:
"We wanted to wish good luck to 5 players who will be continuing their careers in Europe!
Good luck Filip in Sweden! Good luck Nolan in Germany! Good luck Lias in Switzerland! Good luck Strauss in Germany! Good luck Olivier in Germany! - Laval Rocket
Earlier, we mentioned the departure of Lias Andersson who, along with Colin White, forms a duo of former first-round picks leaving the organization.
