Is "Dutch Gretzky" making a return to Montreal?
The Canadiens have reportedly reached out to unrestricted free agent Dale Weise with a view to bringing him back to the club on a new deal, according to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.
Apparently, though, the Canadiens aren't Weise's only suitors.
Character is always wanted/needed. Still early and at least 10 teams have expressed interest in Dale Weise. @daleweise22
