Well, according to some intel from former Habs enforcer Georges Laraque, it would appear as though the team is ready for war. A top priority right now is for the team to get itself a bottom-six forward who can act as a complementary piece to Xhekaj.
One has to wonder how quickly the Canadiens would be able to get something like that done. After all, enforcers who can actually produce offensively don't come around often these days. No matter what, it is clear that the team wants to have a more intimidating aura that will deter teams from dirty hits.
