The Habs have drafted the game breaking talent that they have needed for a very long time. A player who some have said is the highest skilled player to be drafted by the Canadiens since Guy Lafleur. That player is Ivan Demidov. We are not saying that he is the next Guy Lafleur, but we are incredibly excited and happy to even hear those two names brought up in the sa
Episode 89: Could the Habs Trade Kaiden Guhle?
In this episode, we discuss...
In a scenario where Demidov and Lindstrom are drafted before the Canadiens make their pick, if the best player available is a defenseman, should they draft that defenseman or select the next best forward available (i.e. Igina, Sennecke, Catton)?
If they were to draft a defenseman, does that make Kaiden Guhle expendable? Should and could the Habs consider moving Guh
Episode 88: WPG/Habs 26th Pick Traded?
In this episode, we discuss...
Just ahead of the 2023-24 NHL trade deadline, the Habs acquired the Jets' 1st round pick in exchange for Sean Monahan. We question and wonder what Kent Hughes will do with that pick. Will he trade it in a package for a top 6? Will he use it to move up in the draft? Will he make another Dach/Newhook type of trade? The NHL draft is around the corner, and it won
Episode 87: A Big Acquisition Coming to the Habs?
In this episode, we discuss...
Martin Necas, Patrick Laine and Brady Tkachuk.
The cost to acquire Martin Necas is going to be pretty high. What that cost is, we don't know. We question whether or not Necas should be the priority acquisition for the Canadiens this offseason or are there other options out there. Another name that has hit the rumor mill a little bit has been Patrick Laine, he
Episode 86: Slafkovsky's Next Contract
In this episode, we discuss...
If General Manager Brad Treliving from the Toronto Maple Leafs were to call Kent Hughes and offer Mitch Marner for Cole Caufield and the 2024 1st (5th overall), would we do it? Would you do it?
If LA were to call Kent Hughes and offer Pierre-Luc Dubois with some retained cap, in a deal that would include Dvorak or Josh Anderson, should the Habs do it? Would we do i
Episode 85: The Most Exciting Off-season Action for the Habs is...
In this episode, we discuss...
The NHL playoffs. What is the most and least surprising result so far. The Leafs and Marner. Washington Capitals. Are the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets pretenders?
There are four major things to happen with the Habs this off-season (NHL lottery draft, NHL draft, trades and RFA and UFA signings). Of these four, which are the most exciting?

Episode 84: Habs' Post-Season Starts Now
In this episode, we discuss...
The Habs' 2023-24 season is done. The Canadiens played their 82nd game VS the Detroit Red Wings and lost in the shootout. While their place in the standings is very similar to last year, it was certainly a season full of bright spots. Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, and Newhook all had career years. The goaltending situation has cleared up and the 3-goalie carouse
Episode 83: Is Cole Caufield's Season a Disappointment?
In this episode, we discuss...
This season, the Habs have accumulated a lot of points in the standings with their no quit, competitive play. With their most recent victory against the Stanley cup contending Colorado Avalanche. Given where the Habs are at in their rebuild, is it frustrating to see them win VS teams that they "should" lose to? Or are we happy with their compete and progre
Episode 82: Jake Allen Trade, Cap Space, Marchessault a Good Fit?
In this episode, we discuss...
The Habs traded Jake Allen to the New Jersey Devils for a 2025 conditional 3rd round pick and they retained 50% of his salary. Was this a good trade for the Canadiens?
Minnesota pulled their goalie in overtime to ice 4 players. This strategy led to a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators. This was a risky decision by the Minnesota Wild. If Nashville would've scor
