The Canadiens have also announced the release of Drayson Bowman who was with the team on a pro try-out.
Ben Kerr’s Take: The assignment of Pateryn is the most surprising. I thought Pateryn was good in pre-season and was amongst the contenders for the 7th defenceman job. It now seems that the remaining positions on the Montreal blueline will come down to a battle between Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi, and training camp tryout Francis Bouillon for the two spots, unless another move is made such as a waiver pickup or trade.
