by Adam GretzFiled under: Canadiens, NHL Free AgencyThe Montreal Canadiens entered the offseason with the always dangerous combination of salary cap space and open roster spots. It didn't take Bob Gainey long to start reconstructing his roster, making the head-scratching trade for Scott Gomez and his gigantic contract on Tuesday, a move that was panned by pretty much every analyst/blogger/and fan outside of New York City. On Wednesday, when the free agent frenzy officially opened, Gainey continued his roster overhaul, and essentially cornered the market on small, undersized forwards, and reunited Gomez with one of his former teammates from his New Jersey glory days.A Look at Montreal's Roster Overhaul originally appeared on Fanhouse NHL Blog on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:30:00 EDT .
