Guy Lafleur: Canadiens have ‘4 fourth lines’

Former Montreal Canadiens great Guy Lafleur believes it's pretty clear what his former team needs to do to get better.

Lafleur was at a charity event Wednesday where he insisted that changes need to come to the team's roster, while making a brash observation.

"The offseason? They have to get some better players (laughs)," Lafleur told Pro Hockey Talk. "The way I look at it right now, there’s no first line, second line, third line. I think they have four fourth lines."

Lafleur also questioned how the team could completely fall apart without its No. 1 goalie.

"It’s strange to see that one man could make a big difference because Carey Price doesn’t score any goals," Lafleur said. "Some of the guys, some of the leaders have to show up a bit more and they have to take charge."

After starting the season 9-0-0, the Canadiens sit sixth in the Atlantic Division, nine points out of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
