Just like that, another division champ is out. This time, it’s the Montreal Canadiens, the only Atlantic Division team to exceed 100 points during the regular season.

And now it’s over.

Last offseason, a shocking blockbuster trade made by Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin brought in Shea Weber in exchange for P.K. Subban, marking the urgency to win now in Montreal. It didn’t happen this spring, and the pressure will only heighten, in part because of that deal.

Bergevin can’t afford another disappointing exit next spring, so this coming season becomes a crucial one for the Canadiens. Here’s a look at where he should focus this offseason:

1. Extend Carey Price's contract

There will be a lot on Bergevin’s plate this offseason, but nothing is more important than getting franchise goalie Carey Price signed to a contract extension. He has one more year on a deal that will pay him $6.5 million next season. He can officially sign a new deal, as long as eight years, on July 1. Price will be 31 years old when this deal kicks in, so if it’s for the maximum eight-year term, the Canadiens will get declining returns throughout the second half of the contract.

But we’ve seen what life in Montreal looks like without Carey Price, and it isn't pretty -- let someone else worry about those last few years on this contract.

Henrik Lundqvist currently has the highest salary-cap charge among goalies at $8.5 million, and that would likely be an annual minimum on Price’s next deal.

2. New deal for Alexander Radulov

Radulov was a great import for Bergevin, playing with much more heart and soul than he received credit for during his first tour of duty in the NHL. The Canadiens struggled to score goals in the postseason and entered Game 6 averaging just two goals per game, the lowest rate in the Eastern Conference. Finding offense should be a priority for Bergevin, but Radulov certainly wasn’t the problem. He finished the postseason with seven points in six games, and his line was one of the better ones in the playoffs.

He’s a pending unrestricted free agent, and both sides would like to get a deal done. He’s 30 years old, so it shouldn’t be a max-term deal, but he has become a valuable part of the group and Montreal can’t let him walk.

3. Consider trading Alex Galchenyuk

If I’m running the Canadiens, Galchenyuk is part of the solution long term. But based on how he has bounced up and down the lineup and between center and wing, the decision-makers in Montreal don’t seem to have much faith in his ability to lead them to playoff success as a top-line center.

At this point, with Weber and Price and Radulov not getting any younger, the Canadiens may not have the patience to wait for Galchenyuk, a restricted free agent, to mature into the center they want. There was some midseason speculation that a deal for Matt Duchene might have been discussed, and that’s really the only thing that makes sense -- a return that nets the Canadiens a legitimate top-line center who can help produce offense. Those players aren’t easy to find, which is another reason to keep the 23-year-old Galchenyuk around.
