Tomorrow, Frenchman Alexandre Texier will officially be released like a bird, unless he is called up for refusal.
We know that two eastern teams are favorites to win this derby.
But today Elliot Friedman said during the second intermission of the Montreal-Toronto game that the Canadiens are the favorites and should be able to sign him.

Obviously, Texier won't come to save Montreal. After all, he never had a 30-plus point season.
And this season, in eight matches, he made one assist. He's going through failures for some reason…
His presence in the metropolis would help the team deal with all the injuries in the short term. It would also allow the Rocket to reunite with Florian Czekai, Jared Davidson and/or Joshua Roy.
Right now, Laval's top three players are up there, including one who isn't playing. But this does not prevent Pascal Vincent's team from winning.
But for the Canadiens, a potential pairing with this guy would add some experience. The 26-year-old winger has played 240 games in the major leagues and has plenty of talent.
After a while
– A question arises.
Should Noah Dobson be considered for Team Canada's Olympic roster?
