Unrestricted Free Agent Loui Eriksson is reportedly interested in joining the Montreal Canadiens, and according to Jonathan Bernier of the Journal de Montreal, General Manager Marc Bergevin and Eriksson’s agent were seen having several discussions at the combine and at the draft.

The former Boston Bruin, Eriksson would be a great addition to the Canadiens, as he would bring the firepower to the top 2 lines that the team is sorely lacking right now. The Canadiens have a lot of room under the cap, so a deal can be very workable between the two parties.
