By moving both Ylonen and Corey Schueneman, who is also rumoured to be Laval bound, these moves would remove $1,630,000 off of their active roster. The significance of this number?
With the $8,515,563 the Canadiens already have in cap space, this would allow Montreal to activate Carey Price this week for expected games. The return of Price would likely begin the showcase of the veteran before the Canadiens attempt to shop the former star this summer.
