We have breaking news from the Montreal Canadiens. It hasn't taken long, but the organization has indeed just announced that forward Owen Beck has been sent back to the Laval Rocket. Despite playing well above their expected finish, the Canadiens are still very much in a rebuild, with the best still yet to come.

Despite odds pegging them as a bottom-five team for the last three seasons, the Canadiens have had one of the highest payrolls in the NHL.
