The Montreal Canadiens' 2014 offseason is winding down, and general manager Marc Bergevin has made most of his moves. But that doesn't mean the final roster is set, and it certainly doesn't mean there won't be any position battles in training camp.
The Habs have some depth up front, meaning there will be some solid competition in September. There are a couple right wing spots up for grabs, as well as one on the left side.
The top five defensemen look set with five veterans ready to open the season. But three youngsters who spent most of the season in the AHL's Hamilton last year will be looking to grab that final spot and stay in Montreal.
Finally, the emergence of Dustin Tokarski has created an interesting scenario in goal.
Here are the Montreal Canadiens position battles to watch during the rest of the 2014 offseason.
