Here is the Montreal Canadiens' attack for October 13

With Alex Belzile not being placed on waivers before joining the Laval Rocket, note that this was the last day to submit players to all other teams before announcing the big club tomorrow (5pm).
That being said, with Mike Hoffman currently out, Belzile will remain with the club and should most likely end up on the 4th unit... and Cedric Paquette as the 13th forward, who may not be in game shape yet.
In the case of Ryan Poehling, he will most likely go back to the Laval Rocket to perfect some aspects of his game.
In short, here's a look at the offense that should show up next Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs:
Toffoli - Suzuki - Caufield
Drouin - Dvorak - Anderson
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Perreault - Belzile
Extra: Paquette
Defensively, there's a question mark or two... or three. We know Shea Weber and Joel Edmundson won't be in Game 1, so that leaves Jeff Petry, Ben Chiarot, David Savard, Alexander Romanov, Chris Wideman, Brett Kulak, Sami Niku and Kaiden Guhle.
Who of Kulak, Niku or Guhle will be in uniform on Wednesday? Will Guhle spend nine games with the Habs and then return to Prince Albert?
