Montreal Canadiens assistant coach Kirk Muller will become the head coach of the Dallas Stars, but it’s on hold as the team awaits new owners.

Candiens GM Pierre Gautier will make UFA Andrei Markov and RFA Josh Gorges priorities. Gautier has already offered Andrei Markov a 1 year deal for $5.75 million. Markov is looking for a 3 year deal.

Hal Gill is also a UFA and will likely be back along side PK Subban.

Scott Gomez carries a $7.37 million cap hit next year and they have the option of biting the bullet and sending him to the AHL. There have been trade rumors floating around that the Phoenix Coyotes are interested in Scott Gomez.

RFA Max Pacioretty is healthy and is in line for a multi-year contract. Andrei Kostitsyn and Benoit Pouliot are RFA’s and likely won’t be priorities. Due to salary cap constraints they likely won’t be a major player in the free agent market.

Stay tuned for more Montreal Canadiens rumours......

i think penner would be a good aquisition for montreal but they dont got the cap space. cause wizneiwski takes up a 4 mil cap hit...they might havejustenough for penner but i think id rather see them pick up nicklas bergfors... obviously hes not a good fit in ATL. hes been bencheed a fair bit but this guy can score. he did pretty god in jersey
