Get PuckD Podcast: A Montreal Canadiens Podcast (Get PuckD Podcast)

Petry wants out, maybe needs out, who is the best "dance" partner?

to get it done and when during this season or off season?

Price spoke about not planning on being anywhere else, do you buying that

after making himself free for Seattle to select him?

Right now, who is more irreplaceable: Caufield or Romanov

Some are saying that even with the tank in progress Dom Ducharme doesn't finish the season, or shouldn't finish it.. should he be relieved asap or wait until the end of the season?

Wild shot in the dark, who does Vito and Dave have as the next coach?

Dave and Vito have to name one player from any team in the league that is under the age of 24 that they wish could be a Hab for the next 8 years?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Habs bottom 6, where does it rank in the NHL? Assuming everyone is healthy, and that everyone plays their role and to their strengths, do the Habs have one of the best bottom 6 lines in the entire NHL?

Lane Hutson is making it easier and easier for Habs management to keep him up at the NHL level and insert him into the main defensive lineup. With his style of play, potential and offensive skills, could he finish the season as a contender for the Calder? What is the criteria a defenseman must hit to be a nominee or even win the Calder? Could Lane Hutson be the first Montreal Canadien to win the Calder since Ken Dryden (1971)?

Of all of the Habs storylines leading into the new season, which one are we most excited about and going to follow closely?

In this episode, we discuss...

We try and look into the future, specifically the offseason. We see that the Habs have a lot of assets to work with to potentially make a "big splash" for their top 6. Which team(s) would Vito, Dave and Matt want Kent Hughes to reach out to, to see if a deal can be made for a specific player (ASSUMING the target player is even available)

Should Kent Hughes put an end to the 3-goalie carousel and lower his ask? How much longer can this go on?

Question of the week: If you could speak with Kent Hughes and advise him to go and make a big splash for a player who could be available for the Habs top 6, who would you advise him to go after? (Realistic targets and not Connor McDavid LOL)

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 progression as a team?

Caufield's game is more well-rounded than it has been in previous seasons. It sems that his more well-rounded style of play is coming at the cost of scoring goals. At the start of the year, projections and expectations were that he would score 40-50 goals. He has not come close to those totals, but his overall game is a lot better, and he is playing at a 65 ppg pace. Were the expectations too high? Is this the best path for him? Is this a disappointing season for him?

Certain members of the media had put out an article with a headline suggesting that Reinbacher is a bust. A bust.... Seriously!? This article came out before his first game with the Laval Rocket and obviously before ever playing an NHL game (training camp excluded). After reading the article, the journalist does not actually state that he is a bust, but that he probably shouldn't have been selected 5th overall and ahead of certain players. We give our thoughts on the article, Reinbacher, his first pro games, and what some scouting pros have said about his game.

In this episode, we discuss...

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 same conversation. Time will tell, but some have suggested that his floor is a 70-80 pts player, and his ceiling is 100 points. Again, time will tell.

The Canadiens came out as winners in this this year's draft. In addition to drafting Demidov, they also traded up to 21 (from 26) to eventually draft Michael Hage. A player most thought would be drafted between 17-20. He grew up a Habs fan, his parents were/are Habs fans, and some have compared him to Jordan Kyrou. Again, time will tell.

In the 3rd round, they drafted a name that you will all recognize, Koivu. That's right! The Habs drafted Saku Koivu's son, Aatos Koivu. Such a feel-good story right there.

Who could the Canadiens target in the free agency? Who could be a good fit? Given how the draft went, do they and should they go after some free agents?

The Habs traded Johnathan Kovacevic to the New Jersey Devils for a 2026 4th round pick

In this episode, we discuss...

Josh Anderson has been struggling to score and it hasn't been for a lack of trying. He is certainly "snake bitten", but what can the Habs do to really get him going? Over the weekend, Elliotte Friedman reported that the Habs are close to an extension with Samuel Montembeault. Is this the right choice? What is the right cap hit and term for him? And does this mean that Allen or Primeau are on the move? Slafkovsky has been playing well. Despite his low numbers on his stat sheet, his advanced analytics show that he is progressing and doing well. We have seen a difference in him since being paired with Dvorak. We do think that he would look even better next to Monahan. Is it time to break up the Monahan, Pearson, and Gallagher line and pair Monahan with Slafkovsky?

For ABC episode 2 we discuss... 

- Auston Matthews scored 51 goals in his last 50 games. The first player to do it since Mario Lemieux. Some people are comparing AM's fantastic achievement to that of the 50 goals in the first 50 games of an NHL regular season. Only 5 players (Maurice Richard, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy, Brett Hull and Mario Lemieux) have ever achieved this feat within the "rules" of 50 goals in 50 games or less. What is the difference? Should it even matter whether it is 50 in the first 50 or 50 in their last 50? Is a streak a streak regardless of what point in the season they're at?  

- A young Habs fan and his father were kicked out of Saturday's tilt between the Habs VS Leafs (in Toronto) after Nick Suzuki gave his hockey stick to the young fan. Apparently, they were kicked out of the arena because the kid cannot have a hockey stick because it is considered a weapon. Was this overblown? Should the kid and his father who were sitting front row have been allowed to stay? Poor judgement call by the security guard(s)?  

- Of the 4 major North American sports, what is the toughest individual accomplishment to beat?

We're back with our first episode in 2023 and in this episode, we discuss...  

- Connor Bedard and what he would mean to a team  

- If the Habs don't win the lottery for number 1 but both 1st rounders (theirs and Florida) move up in the top 5, should the Habs try and trade both picks for number 1?  

- Pierre-Luc Dubois is an RFA at the end of the season. We have all heard the rumors that he wants to play for Montreal. Should the Habs try and acquire the PLD at the end of the season? What would it cost to trade for him? What would it cost to sign him?  

- Other NHL teams seem to be gearing up to try and improve their chances to win the lottery pick. Jim Rutherford, Vancouver's GM, recently stated that every team wants the number 1 pick this year. Rumors going around that everyone, but Pettersson is available  - Will the Habs finish in the bottom 5?  

- Habs prospects are leading the way.

In this episode, we discuss...

Whether or not Norlinder and Mailloux have done enough to merit a spot on the Habs opening night roster. Heineman and Ylonen have had a solid camp so far, but the Habs have too many forwards. Should Kent Hughes consider waiving Joel Armia and/or Tanner Pearson to make room for them? Are we in the worst era for goaltending in the NHL and in Habs history?The Habs are missing elite offensive talent, without factoring the NHL draft, and with the current assets the Canadiens possess, how could they acquire elite talent via trade (i.e. Zegras & W. Nylander)

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens have been on fire lately. They have won 4 of their last 5 games. All four wins were against the last 4 Stanley cup winners. These were games that most people and analysts expected them to lose. Currently, they are one point away from the final wild card spot and are officially in the mix. For those hoping for a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft this recent surge spells disaster. For those that were hoping that the Habs would take a step forward this season, are excited and eyeing that last playoff spot.

Juraj Slafkovsky is still putting up points, but the eye test has not matched the production. Some Habs fans are really starting to lose their patience with him. Some seem to forget how young Slafkovsky and that he is actually younger than Lane Hutson (by 1 month). At only the age of 20 years old, is it fair to get on Slafkovsky's case? Has he undeservingly become the new whipping boy?

Habs goaltender Jakub Dobes is making history. In a very small sample size, he has looked incredible. Currently, he is 2-0, has allowed only 1 goal in both of those games VS two of the best teams in the NHL. While it has only been 2 games, should the Montreal Canadiens continue to search for a veteran goalie? Or perhaps Monty is now the veteran goalie?

In this episode, we discuss...

Patrik Laine had to be helped off the ice following a knee on knee hit with Maple Leafs player Cedric Paré. The hit did not look good and neither does the injury. Sadly, Laine has not yet played a regular season game with the Montreal Canadiens, and it looks like he could be out for a while. We're hoping for the best, but it did not look good. To make matters worse, former 5th overall pick David Reinbacher also went down with an apparent knee injury. Let's just say that we and our fellow Habs fans are very discouraged right now. We're hoping for the best but it does not look good. Both players were seen leaving the Bell Centre with a knee brace and on crutches. The question everyone is asking is whether the hit was dirty or not.
Should the NHL re-visit the pre-season format/rules? Are there too many pre-season games being played?
Xhekaj took matters into his own hands and decided to stick up for his teammate by going after Paré. Many agree and believe that Paré had to expect someone (Xhekaj) to force him to defend himself after injuring a key player on the Montreal Canadiens roster. However, some do not agree with how Xhekaj went about it and are comparing it to the Moore/Bertuzzi situation. Which was one of the worst gestures and injuries to have ever happened in the NHL. Do we think that Xhekaj did the right thing? Was what he did as bad as some (very few) people say it was?

Question of the week (Reply in YouTube comments)
In your opinion, was Paré's hit on Laine dirty?

In this episode, we discuss...

A couple of games ago, Martin St. Louis benched Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach. Was benching them a smart move? Will this affect Laine in a negative way, or will he understand the message?

Kevin Weekes posted a tweet that there is some interest across the NHL for Buffalo Sabres' center Dylan Cozens and apparently, the Habs are one of the teams interested in Dylan Cozens. Should the Habs trade for him? What should they trade to acquire him (if they do)? Don't they have a similar project in Kirby Dach?

Apparently, New Jersey is really interested in Jake Evans. Some have even tried linking Simon Nemec (Which is crazy to us) to the Habs in some kind of deal that involves Jake Evans. Evans is a proven commodity, and you know what you're getting with him. Should the Habs trade him, or should they keep him?

In this episode (RECORDED BEFORE GAME VS ST-LOUIS), we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens defensive woes and the rumor that Kent Hughes is making call for a top 4 right-handed defenseman. Also, we discuss Martin St. Louis' press conference and what he said about Arber Xhekaj.

Kirby Dach is definitely rusty and not playing to his potential, but at the moment, there are some other concerns about his game. Is it time to be worried about him as a 2nd line center? Or is he just shaking off some of the rust off his game?

Jesse Ylonen called up by the Habs. What are the expectations for Ylonen

Bob Gainey part of the committee to help find a GM for the Habs. Good or bad idea?

Dave, Matt and Vito talk about who they would select as the Habs next GM and coach

Lastly, each of us have to pick one player that we think will likely be traded by the Trade Deadline

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 carousel ended. Lane Hutson and Logan Mailloux both played their first NHL games and produced. and so on. It wasn't all positive though, there were some bumps along the way, Josh Anderson had the worst season of his career, the injury bug hit early by taking Dach out during the second game of the season, Armia was waived and sent down to Laval, Xhekaj was sent down to Laval, Slaf struggled out of the gate. Yet, this was still a progressive season for the Montreal Canadiens. Martin St-Louis extended with the Canadiens for 2 years (3 seasons)

In this episode, we discuss...

Why is Lane Hutson not playing on the 1st powerplay line? He has proven that he can handle the minutes. He creates high danger chances, has the mobility and the hockey IQ. We try to explain the reasons why Martin St. Louis has not played him on the 1st PP on a consistent basis.

Jake Evans has been playing great this season, should the Habs re-sign him or trade him at the trade deadline? If they were to sign him, what would a contract look like for him?

From the following scenarios, if we can only pick one, which would we pick? Cole Caufield scoring 40 goals OR Nick Suzuki posting 90 pts, OR Lane Hutson winning the Calder

Some fans are still bringing up the Habs passing on Michkov for Reinbacher. Is it still too early and unfair to call it a bust pick or a mistake by the Habs?

In this episode, we discuss...

The 2023-24 NHL season has started and the Montreal Canadiens play their first game of the season against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Currently, the Habs have 3 goalies on their 23 man roster. Kent Hughes stated that if Primeau were to be placed on waivers, he is certain he would get claimed. Jake Allen is set to face the Toronto Maple Leafs and some find it very interesting that the Habs are going with Allen to tend the twine for the first game of the season. Is Allen being showcased? Are there any contending teams that can take on his contract? Is there any interest? Josh Anderson is expected to flank Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield on the 1st line. It did not work in the past, why are they trying it again? We think that we know why, let us know if you agree with our logic. Our thoughts on the Habs waiving Armia. As Habs fans, how do we stay engaged during a rebuild and what storylines are we paying attention to. By the end of the season, where will the Habs finish in the standings?

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 Guhle to get that star top 6 forward?

Subscribe to our YouTube channel @GETPUCKDPodcast

Question(s) of the week:

Would you trade Kaiden Guhle for a star top 6 forward or potential star top 6 forward?

Would YOU trade Guhle and the 26th overall pick to New Jersey for Dawson Mercer and the 10th overall pick?

- On the Jeff Marek show, Elliott Friedman stated that the Habs were kicking tires on New Jersey's Pavel Zacha.  Pavel Zacha is a 24 years old, 6'3, center, a 6th overall pick in 2015. In addition, they have also spoken with Minnesota about Jack McBain. Jack McBain is a 6'4 center from Boston college.

- Josh Manson was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a 2023 2nd round pick and blue-line prospect Drew Helleson. When this trade was made, people started to compare Chiarot and Manson and automatically suggested that the market was made and that it may have lowered Chiarot's value. What do Dave and Matt think?

- Which team does Dave, Vito & Matt think that Chiarot will go to? What do they expect that the Habs get for him from the specific team they mention

- Do Dave and Matt think that a big splash or a surprise trade to happen with the habs (something/someone that we have not heard about) by the Trade Deadline? What about with other teams in the NHL?

- Are the Calgary Flames Canada's best chance to win a cup this year?

- Should the Habs re-sign Rem Pitlick at the end of the year? If so, for how long and for how much much?

- Lastly, If we could only eat either Pasta or Pizza for the rest of our lives, what would each of us pick.

In this episode, we discuss...

Our thoughts and feelings of the Canadiens start to the season. Any noteworthy moments?

Should we start being concerned about Cayden Primeau at the NHL level? While he hasn't had many starts yet, he has yet to seize his opportunities and show that he belongs at the NHL level. He has good moments, but he seems to struggle with consistency as the games go on.

Everyone is talking about Lane Hutson. Right now, does he deserve the praise and "flowers" he is getting? Or is it too much, too soon?

We play a little game where Matt asks us to pick one or the other. For this game, Matt asks Vito and Dave to pick one from the following list:

1. PK Subban OR Lane Hutson
2. Saku Koivu OR Nick Suzuki
3. Juraj Slafkovsky OR Alex Kovalev
4. Patrick Roy OR Carey Price
5. Randy Cunneyworth OR Domenic Ducharme

We invite you to play the game with us. Please pick one or the other by providing your responses under the comments sections of the episode on YouTube

In this episode, we discuss...

RECORDED BEFORE THE GAME VS THE KRAKKEN

Habs had a quiet Trade Deadline and it's not necessarily a bad thing. While it wasn't an eventful trade deadline for the Habs, it sent a clear message that the Habs are slowly coming out of this rebuild. They did not sacrifice any key pieces and assets to acquire rentals, and they seem to feel comfortable with the assets and picks they have.

Patrik Laine was feeling under the weather with flu-like symptoms. Once again this did not stop the rumors from going around about it. It seems that it doesn't matter what team he is on, there is a negative perception about him that is not going away. The latest RUMORS suggest that he and MSL are at odds with one another, or that he is having late nights gaming, or that he has no love for the sport anymore. At this point, the only way he can get away from these rumors is to show up, be committed, and play to his fullest potential.

Lane Hutson is a superstar already. You can disagree or attack us if you want, but he is in the top 7 in scoring among all defensemen in the NHL, AS A ROOKIE (tied for 4th). How soon should the Habs sign him to his next contract? How much should they sign him for?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: When the time comes, what will Lane Hutson's next contract look like?

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 scored, it would have resulted in the Wild losing out on the OT point (aka the loser point). Should more teams do this? Or could this lead to another rule change?

At the moment, the Montreal Canadiens will have about 10 million dollars of cap space at the start of the offseason. Assuming Xhekaj signs a bridge deal (1-2 million), that would leave the have with about 8-9 million dollars. Should they go after players on the UFA market? Could Jonathan Marchessault be a good fit for the Canadiens? Should they wait for the 2025-26 UFA group (a lot of big names - if they don't re-sign), where the Habs will have a lot more cap space available to them.

In this episode we discuss...

- Dave Trentadue is back after a short time away. The Canadiens have gone on a win streak. Vito asks Dave and Matt if they are concerned about this win streak and the impact it may have on their draft position for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft

- Jeff Petry seems to be happy now and has stated that Martin St-Louis has brought life back in the room and that St-Louis is a coach that he would play for for many years (paraphrasing). With Petry saying this, should the Habs keep him or trade him?

- "The Rumor Mill". We gathered a few tweets from various twitter accounts that quoted various insiders (some accounts whom also claim to have sources) about players who may be on the trade block and which teams may be interested in these players. Vito displays and reads out the tweets asking what Dave and Matt think about each one.

This is our 100th episode and sadly our beloved Montreal Canadiens are not putting us in a celebratory mood.

With that being said, we want to thank our subscribers, friends, family members, and everyone who has been with us from the start.

For those of you just joining, thank you and welcome to the channel.

In this episode, we discuss...

about the current struggles the Canadiens are going through and discuss some of the causes as well as what the number 1 problem the team has currently.

The players are not showing up, some of the coaching decisions have been questionable, and the confidence seems to be at an all-time low.

The question is, are we currently witnessing the Habs lowest point of this season? Can it even get any lower? They can only go up from here, RIGHT?!

In this episode we discuss

Norlinder going back to Sweden - good or bad

Is Jeff Petry frustrated, on the decline, or does he want out?

Over the years, players have constantly been miscast and had to play above their skill level

The time has come to take one step back to move to steps forward

Have certain players tanked their value for the trade deadline

Vito's bold prediction for the Trade Deadline

In this episode we discuss...  

- Brock Boeser is available. Should the Montreal Canadiens make a deal and try to acquire him?  

- Is Josh Anderson available? If so, should the Canadiens trade him? What is the minimum that the Habs should ask for in any trade involving Josh Anderson?  - Trade or sign Sean Monahan? We discuss on why the Habs should trade him and why they should keep him. What about Dvorak?  

- After being played limited minutes, being a healthy scratch, and then sent down to the AHL on a conditioning stint, Seattle is dressing Shane Wright VS the Habs. Is this move a story line and a marketing move by the Seattle Kraken or just a coincidence?    

- Habs are in an interesting position for the NHL Trade Deadline

In this episode, we discuss...

Jeff Petry, who was recently re-acquired by the Montreal Canadiens has been traded again by his former team. He has been traded to the Detroit Redwings for Gustav Lindstrom and a conditional 2025 4th round pick. Matt and Vito break down and analyze all of the trades that have involved Jeff Petry and the Montreal Canadiens. We present the Jeff Petry trade tree which starts back in 2015.

Kent Hughes is getting the reputation of being a smart, respectful, and classy GM, but he is also getting recognized as a players GM. The Montreal Canadiens perception across the NHL is changing (for the better) and it is not going unnoticed.

Matt and Vito each give their core 4 Habs untradeables. Meaning, from the entire Habs organization, who they will NOT trade under any realistic circumstance. We want to know who are YOUR 4 untradeables.

In this episode we discuss..  

- Habs have lost all of their pre-season games so far. Does it matter and should we be worried?  

- Are people overreacting about Slafkovsky?  

- At the moment, Habs have too many forwards and not enough spots. What could the opening night roster look like? Who should go to Laval? What to do with Mike Hoffman? If Slafkovsky stays with the Habs, is there a spot for Drouin on the left side and in the top 9?

In this episode, we discuss...

Whether the Habs are really in the mix or not. Laine has not looked out of place and did not waste any time by scoring a pair of goals, but even with Laine in the lineup, are the Habs still a lottery team or an in "the mix" team.

There has been a lot of attention on Head Coach Martin St. Louis. Some people questioning his decisions (or indecisions). Do we still believe that he is the guy to continue developing this young Habs team? What to do with Dach and Slafkovsky?

The Habs have played about 30% of their games for the 2024-25 season. At this point, should we hope that they finish bottom 5 or push hard for a wild card spot?

We discuss all that and more.

Question(s) of the week: Barring any possibility of a trade, what would you do with Kirby Dach? What would you do to get him going?

In your opinion, is MSL still the guy to develop this team during this rebuild?

In this episode we discuss...  

- Which HABS player was the biggest disappointment this year?  

- Who should be the next Captain of the Montreal Canadiens?  

- Since his return, we have seen many players congratulating and reaching out to Carey Price. From Ovechkin's fist bump to Sidney Crosby's phone call to Lars Eller's pat on the back, to Fleury's kind words before the game VS Minnesota, etc. All of which have stated publicly that he is still recognized as one of the best in the game. So, Vito asks,  over the years, have some fans, members of the media, etc. been too hard on Carey Price?  

- Cap hit aside, at this stage of Carey Price's career and with where the habs are going, do we prefer to see him finish his career as a Canadiens or go to another team and win a cup?  

- Habs call up Rafael Harvey-Pinard

In this episode we discuss

If the habs choose to re-tool/reset, Dave and Matt have to name the veterans or tradeable assets that they would keep and why?

Frank Seravalli mentioned that there are 3 teams supposedly "begging" the habs for Lehkonen and that Lehkonen is this year's blake coleman?

Would Dave and Matt trade lehky or not? if not, why?

(Side note Blake Coleman was traded for a 1st in either 2020 or 2021 and Nolan Foote (former 1st round pick in 2019 - 8 NHL games and now with NJD))

Teams have supposedly called for Drouin. At a minimum, what is the expected return for Drouin

At the moment, scouts and analysts still have Wright as the projected 1st overall pick for the upcoming draft. The belief is that the top 10 is very deep. If MTL were to win the lottery draft and have the 1st overall, Should the habs still use the pick or trade down and acquire another asset?

So far, Kent Hughes hasn't made any moves but how has he carried himself so far?

Dave and Matt have 5 seconds, per player, to come up with an acceptable trade package for Chiarot, Hoffman and Petry

In this episode, we discuss...

The NHL and the Montreal Canadiens released their quarter century teams. We give our thoughts and opinions on teams 1 and 2. Should there be any changes or other players to consider? Some have suggested that Subban should be on team 1 and Weber on team 2. Do we agree?

Jakub Dobes has played 5 games and won all 5 games. He looks cool, calm, and collected. Montembeault has had some good games and struggled in others. He is still the Habs number 1 goalie (for now), but with Dobes playing the way that he has, do the Habs have a goalie controversy, or do they simply have a goalie tandem that MSL can finally rely on?

The bottom 6 lines look very different without Emil Heineman and with Pezzetta. Thankfully Heineman is ok from an unexpected accident and that his injury is not long term. Since his injury was announced the bottom 6 has not looked the same. We discuss how underrated Emil Heineman is and his impact to the Habs roster.

While we were recording this episode, the tweets were coming in about the Rantanen trade. Near the end of the episode, you can see our live reaction of the 3-way blockbuster trade between Colorado, Chicago, and Carolina.

We play a quick answer speed round game. No time to think of an answer, just the first answer that comes to mind.

- The Canadiens traded Tyler Toffoli to the Calgary Flames for a 2022 1st round pick (top 10 protected), prospect Emil Heinemann, a 2023 5th round pick and Tyler Pitlick  

- What might be the next move or how could the Toffoli trade impact future moves  

- Martin St-Louis is hired as the interim head coach of the Montreal Canadiens

In this episode we discuss

- Chantal Machabée hired as the VP of Communications

- Does hiring a woman as the VP of Communications, diminish the chances of the #canadiens hiring a woman as a GM or AGM

- Arizona lost last night. Habs are now last in the NHL for points percentage. This is a good thing?

- Should the #HABS hire a GM as soon as possible or take their time

- PJ Stock tweeted his opinion on video tributes for players and how teams are overdoing it. He believes a threshold number of years should dictate whether a player deserves a video tribute or not. What does Vito and Dave think?

Sponsored by Café Victoria's

In this episode we discuss...

- There is a significantly higher number of players scoring 40+ goals and 100+ points this year than in the last few years. In fact, the last season where 8 or more players scored 100+ points was in 1995-96 (12 players). What has changed? Why is scoring so high this season? Dave and Vito weigh in and provide some theories.

- Pierre LeBrun ran a poll where he asks Hockey fans if they would be in favor of eliminating the shootout in favor of extending 3 on 3 overtime by a few minutes. Vito and Dave provide their view and opinion on this and Dave even makes a suggestion on what he thinks would be interesting for the NHL to adopt

- Fans from other teams (i.e. Dallas) are taunting the Vegas Golden Knights fans about them likely missing the playoffs for the first time since joining the NHL. Matt asks Vito and Dave what they think about this and is it good for the game

- Steven Stamkos has scored 100+ points for the first time in his NHL career (14 seasons), is Stamkos one of, if not the most underrated player in the NHL? If not, who is?

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't be long before a decision is made.

Question of the week: If you were Kent Hughes, what would you do with the 26th overall pick?

In this episode we discuss... 

- Trade deadline recap. For his first trade deadline as the General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens, how did Kent Hughes do?    

- Jordan Harris signs a 2 year ELC with the habs. Should he play every every game from now until the end of the season?   

- Even if CC does not finish first in rookie scoring race, if he maintains this pace, should he be considered for the Calder (Rookie of the year)?  

- Have we seen the last of Jonathan Drouin as a member of the Montreal Canadiens?   

- Kent Hughes's son is eligible for the 2022 NHL draft. The Habs have Calgary's 2022 1st round pick. Provided the Canadiens do not trade the pick, and that Calgary goes deep into the playoffs, they would be drafting at bottom of the 1st round. Some mock drafts have Hughes in the 1st round and some at the start of the 2nd round. If he is available when it's their turn to pick, should they draft Jack Hughes?

In this episode we discuss...  

- Cole Caufield is out for the season. What's next for him and the Habs?  

- For casual Habs fans, what do they have to look forward to?   

- In this lost season and with Caufield out, the chances of the Habs having their first 40 goal scorer since Bellows are now gone. What is there left to look forward too?  

- Habs called up Harvey-Pinard and Belzile. Should they have called up Anthony Richard? Did Richard lose his chance?  

- Samuel Montembeault has been playing very well and is in the top 15 for save percentage for goalies who have played 20 games or more this season. Is this just a hot streak or is this his coming out party?

In this episode we welcome a very special guest. NHL insider and The Fourth Period's Editor-in-Chief David Pagnotta joins us just ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline.  

We talk about the latest Habs rumors  

What other team executives are saying about Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton  

Of the trades that have been made so far, Matt asks David for his opinion on which trades had the most surprising and underwhelming returns  

Since David Pagnotta is plugged in, Vito wants to know if there is a name that has not been mentioned in the twitter sphere or on any trade bait board that he has heard some rumblings about. If so, could that player be traded by the deadline  

David briefly discusses his tweet about Alexis Lafreniere. If he were available and the Habs reached out, what would it cost them to acquire Lafreniere  

Will Max Domi get traded? 

Which teams are interested in him?  

Nick Paul gets traded while recording this episode. 

In this episode we discuss...  

- What is more pressing for the Canadiens to acquire (via trade, signing, draft, etc.) Goalie, Defense or Center?  

- Do the Canadiens currently have a number 1 defenseman? Do they potentially have one in either Kaiden Guhle or Jordan Harris? Is there one in the pipeline?  

- Is there a potential number 1 defenseman available on the trade market? If so, who? 

- Habs introduce a new mascot. Meet Metal...

In this episode, we discuss...

With their 2023 1st round pick, the Habs selected the best defensive prospect in David Reinbacher. Was he the right pick? Time will tell. We discuss the possible thought process behind picking him over Matvei Michkov or Ryan Leonard. What could the Habs defense look like in the future and now that their defense is set, where should their focus be. We talk about Zadina, Lias Andersson, Alex Newhook and more...

- Should the Habs trade for Jesse Puljujarvi? What would it take to acquire him?  

- Edmonton is rumored to be one of the teams that has shown interest in Josh Anderson.   

- Is there currently a player out there that can be a similar get to Kirby Dach. A player who can benefit from a change of scenery and would be considered a "buy low" candidate or perhaps has fallen out of favor with their current team?  

- JFresh ran a poll about renaming the NHL awards after more current players (i.e. Wayne Gretzky). Should the NHL rename all of the awards? If so, who should they be named after?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Habs name Mike Matheson as the new alternate captain to Nick Suzuki. Was this the right choice? The Andrew Shaw drama. Andrew Shaw targeted and bashed PK Subban, but WHY? The Habs rookie camp started, we predict who has the best chance to make the Habs roster out of the camp or will end up playing for the Laval Rocket.

In this episode, we discuss...

Should the Montreal Canadiens qualify Jesse Ylonen or is this his last season with Habs? If they do qualify him, where does he fit?

There are 6-7 players who are currently on the Habs whose names have been circulating as potential trade chips for the year's NHL Trade deadline. We go through each of the names. Using some of the mock trades or suggested packages that were brought up by our fellow Habs fans, we determine whether they make any sense and if they are fair or not.

We welcome Gregory Hamel (SonderNHL) as the newest member of the Get PuckD Podcast.

NHL.com released their projected lineup for the Montreal Canadiens. After analyzing the lineup, we feel that the way they made the lineup feels very lazy. Almost as though they put no real thought into it.

Out of Hutson, Reinbacher and Mailloux, who is most likely to make the team out of camp? Of the players mentioned, when looking at their overall talent and skillset, who is our favorite player?

On another podcast, Michael Pezzetta spoke about the tax situation in Montreal. Basically, he said the "quiet" part out loud. Should the NHL do something to even the playing field between higher taxed teams and teams that operate at a lower tax i.e. Florida, Tampa, Dallas, etc.

Question of the week: Out of Hutson, Reinbacher and Mailloux, who do you think has the highest overall talent, skillset, and toolbox? and between them who is your favorite and why?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens pre-season is FINALLY over. Were there any standouts? Who did well, surprised us the most, and should they make the team.

Arber Xhekaj had a very interesting pre-season. He was physical, took a lot of penalty minutes, defended his teammates, and was the "sheriff" the whole time. The question is, has the aspects of his game evolved enough to cement his position on the bottom pairing, over Jayden Struble?

Well, the Habs powerplay continued where it left off last season. It's been terrible. Are we going to see more of the same or is it just that Martin St. Louis has not had enough time to work on the powerplay?

Question of the week (Reply in comments on YouTube): Is Xhekaj getting too many penalties for your liking? or are you ok with what he is doing?

In this episode, we discuss...

Arber Xhekaj has been a healthy scratch for the last few games. Is it deserved? Has MSL lost trust in him? Is he still in the mid to long term plans? OR is MSL simply "riding the hot hand"?

Samuel Montembeault is the uncontested number 1 goalie for the Montreal Canadiens. He is playing well enough, but you can see the fatigue setting in. The tough call is sitting him for a game in the middle of a playoff chase. If and when the Habs get into the playoffs, the concern is that he will be out of "gas". Should MSL start playing Dobes a LITTLE more (at a pace of 1 game for every 3)

Oliver Kapanen has joined the Habs. Should they insert him in the lineup ASAP. If so, where?

Habs sign Jacob Fowler to a 1-year (one-way) contract for the remainder of the Laval Rocket's 2024-25 season and a 3-year entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens, which will start next year (2025-26).

- Jeff Petry exit interview. He said that he not closing the door on the organization. With everything he said, should the Canadiens keep him or still move on from him?

In this episode, we discuss... Sean Monahan is currently playing at a point per game pace. He has fit in quite well with the Habs since last they acquired him. While his injuries are still a concern, assuming that they are behind him, should the Habs consider extending him or trading him at the deadline? Slafkovsky is passing the eye test. However, the fans that are focusing primarily on analytics have suggested that he should be demoted to the AHL. Some have even thrown out the word "bust". Should Slafkovsky get some reps in at the AHL level? The Montreal Canadiens are still carrying 3 goalies. All 3 have performed well so far. With many teams across the NHL looking for a goalie, could there be a trade on the horizon? If so, which of the 3 Habs goalies is likely to go?

In this episode, we discuss..

Apparently, there is rumor going around that there is a gentleman's agreement between Habs GM Kent Hughes and Sean Monahan. The rumor suggests that Kent Hughes will trade Sean Monahan to a playoff contending team at the trade deadline. Is this the right move? Should the Habs try and convince Monahan to stick around and be one of the key leaders of the team?

Another rumor that has gone around and does not seem to want to go away, mainly because of Habs fans and rumor enthusiasts, is the one about Trevor Zegras. The Anaheim Ducks recently traded Jamie Drysdale to the Philadelphia Flyers. Immediately after that trade was completed, rumors started to circulate that Zegras may be available. Some have even suggested that he may be a fit for Montreal. Is Trevor Zegras the answer to the Habs offensive woes? Should the Habs pay a "king's ransom" for Zegras?

Habs fans boo-ed McDavid. Were they right to do so? Some fans from other teams have called Habs fans classless. Are they going too far?

Question for our listeners: If you want Zegras, what would you pay to acquire him? We want your absolute best package for him. If you don't want him, then why?

In this episode, we discuss...Dave is back and he does not miss a beat. We debate whether or not the Habs would be better off finishing in the bottom 5 again or progress in the standings. If they stay healthy, are they actually a bottom 5 team? The NHL pre-season is around the corner. Is the pre-season too long? Who are some possible stand outs for the pre-season that may earn a chance at playing the first 10 games of the NHL season. Does Slafkovsky progress this year? If so, what could his points totals look like?

Oh! and thank you to the Philadelphia Flyers organization for passing on Cole Caufield

In this episode we discuss... 0:00 - Intro 0:06 - Stanley cup playoffs 2nd round picks results 1:42 - Habs picking at number 5. Who is going from 1 to 4? 3:45 - Matt presents a ridiculous trade scenario involving the Philadelphia Flyers. Should/Could they trade the 5th overall pick? 12:18 - Should the Habs select Michkov 15:50 - Is there a trade to be made with the Philadelphia Flyers that would involve the 5th and 7th overall picks? 17:55 - Hypothetical scenario, what if the Habs trade up to 4th? Should they do it if it cost them the 5th and something that might "sting" a little? 25:05 - If the players the Habs want are taken at 5, could they trade down and draft someone like Reinbacher who addresses an organizational need? (Would be a mistake in our opinion) 26:35 - The number 3 spot has not been good to the Montreal Canadiens. Spot 5 has been better. Looking back at the Habs last 3rd overall picks 34:05 - Bob Mackenzie's latest draft rankings 35:37 - If the Habs take Michkov and in 3 years from now he does not come to North America, it will be another failed top 5 pick for the Habs. Is it worth the risk? 36:27 - If both Will Smith and Michkov are available at 5, who should the Habs pick? Vito thinks that Will Smith is a potential 90-100 pts player 37:48 - Viewers and listeners, we have 2 questions for you: If both Michkov and Smith are available at 5 (unlikely), who would you take?

In this episode we discuss...

- We are doing a GIVEAWAY for an authentic Montreal Canadiens jersey. The winner of the giveaway can pick any Habs player & number they want (check out our social media for details)  

- There are rumblings about the Habs being players come Free Agency. Is there any truth to it? How far do each of us think the Habs really are from being a playoff team and how far do we think they are from being contenders?  

- Which free agent(s) would Vito, Matt M, Matt Ohayon and Dave like to see the Habs pick up?   

- Justin Barron scores his first NHL goal (Video/Highlight). Albeit a small sample size, Vito asks Dave, Matt Ohayon and Matt M who does Barron remind them of? Should Barron hit his full potential, is there a current or past NHL player that they think is a comparable for Barron  

- Justin Barron, Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Alexander Romanov (already on the team), Mattias Norlinder. How many make the team next year, and if you had to trade one, which would it be?  

- Non hockey related question: Vito asks if they can only eat one meal, everyday, for the rest of their lives, what would it be? (Please note: Matt Ohayon took this question very seriously)

In this episode, we discuss the 3-way trade involving the Montreal Canadiens, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the San Jose Sharks.

The Habs trade Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith, Nathan Legaré and Pittsburgh's 2025 2nd round pick. We break down the trade for the Habs and what may or may not happen with Jeff Petry. Will Kent Hughes move him before the season or will he wear the Habs jersey once again. Tune in as we break down this blockbuster trade and what we think may happen in the near future. We discuss what Erik Karlsson brings to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Are the Pens that much better with him the fold?

In this episode, we discuss...

TSN has released their top 50 under 24 list. In our opinion, there are many players who are on this list that probably should not be there or should not be ahead of certain players who are already in the NHL. Additionally, there are players that are currently ranked a little too high or ahead of players that are already achieving greatness. Is this TSN's worst rankings list of all time? Things are not going well in Edmonton. We are not even 20 games into the season, yet their chances of making the playoffs are getting slimmer by the day. Ken Holland has to do something, but what? Could McDavid and Draisaitl actually leave the Edmonton Oilers at the end of their contract? Is Montembeault or Allen the solution for Edmonton this year? Is it too late for this season and should the Oilers already start focusing on next year?

Tune in and find out what we think about TSN's list and what's going on in Edmonton. (Sorry Oilers fans... you deserve better than what is happening right now).

- If the Lightning win a 3rd consecutive cup, would they be considered a dynasty and given that they would win it in the cap era, would it make them the best dynasty of all time?

- Which Habs prospect has the best chance to be in the Habs lineup next season?

- Should the Habs trade or keep Joel Armia?

- There are many parallels between what happened with the Montreal Canadiens and Jesperi Kotkaniemi and what is happening between the New York Rangers and Kappo Kakko. Should the Habs sign Kappo Kakko to an offer sheet?

- There has been a lot of rumors around Josh Anderson. Should the Habs keep him or trade him?

In this episode, we discuss...

We debate whether we have seen enough from Kirby Dach to cement him as the Habs 2nd line center for next year or should Kent Hughes continue to search the market for another center? Since Dach is there, and the Habs are loaded with defensive prospects, have their priorities and focus changed to another position i.e. RW? When Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton look at their "whiteboard", do they have Suzuki, Caufield, and Slafkovsky penciled in as the automatic 1st line for next year or should they look to continue to improve the 1st line?

For whatever reason there is a contingent of the Montreal Canadiens fanbase that wants Kent Hughes to trade Mike Matheson ASAP. Why is that? Mike Matheson has been good for the Canadiens and is a true professional. Why are some fans so adamant on moving Mike Matheson?

In this episode, we discuss... Matt and Vito question whether or not the Habs current rivals are the same as their past rivals. Are the Bruins still up there as a rival? Putting our biases aside, we ask ourselves whether there is a player from each rival that we "like" and/or respect. We discuss and debate over Scott Wheeler's 2020 NHL re-draft. He recently posted his list for a 2020 NHL re-draft. On his list he has 3 current Habs players being drafted in the 1st round. One of those players made the biggest jump from the last pick in the 4th round to the 1st round. FYI: Matt said it was from Scott Wheeler and Vito said Corey Pronman. Vito was wrong!

In this episode we discuss..  

- Nick Suzuki is the 31st Captain in Montreal Canadiens history... and the youngest. Was he the right choice?  

- For better or worse, what was the biggest move Kent Hughes made this offseason  

- Habs have now added an ad on their historical jersey. Is this a bad thing? Should we care?  

- Habs have too many players. Heck they even have too many centers. Should we expect a move before the season starts? 

- With the limited number of teams with cap space out there, is there even a move to be made?

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?

With Utah officially in the fold, does the off-season dynamic change? If so, how and in which way? The new owner spoke about making a big splash and being big spenders. All talk or is Utah going to be active the way Vegas has since entering the NHL?

An account on X - Denis Pettigrew (@DenisPMtl), recently tweeted an interesting trade scenario involving the Montreal Canadiens 5th overall pick in the 2024 draft (assuming they stay at 5) and San Jose's 4th overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft (Will Smith). Of all of the crazy trade proposals that we have seen on social media, this one was one of the most intriguing ones. While it this trade scenario is unlikely to happen, it is certainly thought inducing and one that piqued our interest enough to talk about it. Credit to him.

Would Dave and Matt like to see the Habs trade for Clayton Keller?

Get Puck'D Podcast is proud to have the talented Julian McKenzie as the special guest for our 11th episode

Julian McKenzie is the associate editor for The Athletic. He is a part-time host on TSN690 and a host on the Chris Johnston Show

In this episode we talk about the Habs.

We ask Julian how it feels to cover the Habs during the worst season in franchise history

The Jeff Gorton era.. Geoff Molson and Jeff Gorton mentioned diversity and out of the box candidates when asked about the next GM. What does diversity and out of the box mean to Julian

Who would Julian select as the next Habs GM

Ducharme's system and player utilization

Julian is asked what his high point of his young career thus far

Matt puts us through another Speed round segment. We have to answer within 5-10 seconds

In this episode, we discuss...

A local radio station (not naming who) brought up the rumor that Dobson may be available for the right price. They mused over the idea of Dobson being traded to the Montreal Canadiens. During their segment they mentioned that to get Dobson, the Habs would likely have to send Caufield the other way. Would we trade Cole Caufield for Noah Dobson?

Since the 4 Nations tournament, the Habs have played two games (Ottawa and Carolina) and won both games. Slafkovsky has scored in both games and has been a beast. Before the season resumed, he stated "to have success in the NHL, you have to play like Brady Tkachuk." In the first game after making that statement, VS Ottawa, he scored a goal, got into a fight, was the first star of the game, and finished the game with 8 hits. He is definitely more engaged. Has he found his game? Is this the version of Slaf we will see more often than not?

There are some rumors circulating around Rantanen and Carolina. Apparently, during the 4 Nations tournament, the Carolina Hurricanes submitted an offer to Rantanen. He has yet to sign and has let Carolina know that he still needs time. The latest rumors/speculation going around is that Carolina may consider flipping Rantanen again by the NHL Trade Deadline. Assuming he makes it to Free Agency, should the Habs open their wallet and/or give him a blank check? Would we sign Rantanen to 13+ million dollars?

Demidov should be signing his entry-level contract when his season with SKA is done. All analysts, scouts, podcasters, members of media, etc. are all saying that Demidov could be the Habs next 100 pts player. He has all the skill and talent to be the first 100 pts player since Mats Naslund. If he hits his ceiling, and scores 100 pts, at the end of his ELC, would you give him the contract that 100 pts player would typically get?

We play the game "Hab for a Minute". Who is our favorite former Habs player, who played minimum 1 game and maximum half a season?

Our inaugural episode. We talk about the Habs and discuss some key points from the first 5 games, the coaching system, some players, and the ups and downs thus far.

In this episode, we discuss...

So far, Lane Hutson has been a standout in every game that he has played for the Montreal Canadiens. Whether it was the 2 games VS Detroit or the prospects games, everyone notices when he is on the ice. His edge work and IQ are off the charts good. His skating and mobility is very Quinn Hughes like. Will he make mistakes in his very young career, absolutely, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons with him. The question is, is he ready for a full 82 games at the NHL level?

At the annual Montreal Canadiens golf tournament, Martin St. Louis confirmed that the Habs will not bring in a replacement for Alex Burrows and that MSL will run the powerplay. Will it be more of the same or something completely different?

Vegas odd have been released and have the Montreal Canadiens finishing the season with 76 pts. The exact number they finished with last season. They're wrong! Right? Well, we give our thoughts on it and provide the over and under. As a sub question, we give the over or under whether Dach will post over or under 70 pts (if healthy)

Pacioretty to the Leafs. At this stage of his career, do we care? Should we care?

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 has the talent and the goal scoring ability, but there are a lot of question marks around him, particularly his health. Brady Tkachuk's name has come up a few times over the last 2 years. The GM keeps squashing those rumors, but you know what they say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

Would we add the 5th overall in a trade package for Brady Tkachuk?

Would any one of these players be considered a big splash type of acquisition or is it not enough?

Question of the week

If not Necas or Laine, who would you want the Canadiens to target? (Reply in the comments)

WELCOME LUCA TO THE TEAM!!!

In this episode, we discuss...

At the time of this recording, the Habs playoff hopes are still alive. The Habs have lost the last couple of games, but the teams behind them have not seized the opportunity to overtake the Habs for the last wildcard spot. With that being said, the Habs have to turn it around quickly or their playoff hopes will dwindle down. Betting sites have the habs playoff percentage at around 48%. Will the Habs make the playoffs? Are they running out of gas?

Juraj Slafkovsky is starting to get a reputation of being a 2nd half guy. Since the 4 nations tournament, Slaf is playing at over a point per game pace. Is he a 2nd half guy or is he simply a different player since the 4 Nations?

In the offseason, either through trade or in the UFA market, who should the Habs go after to fill the 2C spot? Luca brings up an interesting name, but it might be a costly acquisition.

It's time to STOP questioning if Suzuki is a number 1 center. He definitely is. He is not a 100-pts center, but so what!? There have been many number 1 centers in the NHL who have never hit 100 pts (e.g. Bergeron, Datsyuk, etc). Suzuki has 6 penalty minutes, is playing around a PPG pace, and has really put the team on his back. Some have suggested that he could be nominated for the Selke. Is Suzuki a legit Selke candidate?

In this episode, we discuss...

On only his 2nd game of the 2023-24 season, Kirby Dach suffered a season ending injury and requires surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL. This is a big blow to the Canadiens, Kirby Dach and for Habs fans. Many of us, including the Habs and Dach himself, expected big things from him this season. How will the Habs move forward without him? Kaiden Guhle did not finish last game and the latest update is that he is day-to-day with an upper body injury. The injuries are starting to pile up for Kaiden Guhle, is this a cause for concern? Should the Habs break up the Suzuki-Caufield duo? The Habs powerplay is beyond embarrassing and requires a complete overhaul. There should be a lot more focus on coming up with new strategies, a new PP coach, and be less predictable. Oh! and we never want to see the drop pass in the neutral zone again.

In this episode, we discuss...

William Nylander's contract. Should the Leafs have signed him? They now have 4 players earning 11 million dollars or more. Can they actually win a cup and be successful with 4 players eating up most of their cap space.

Arber Xhekaj is playing really well for the Laval Rocket. Is he in the wrong league. Is he a player that other teams might try and trade for? What is his floor and his ceiling?

The Habs are in a very familiar situation in the NHL standings. Should their current position in the standings influence Kent Hughes' next moves?

We want our listeners to tell us who they think Kent Hughes can realistically go and get for the Habs top 6. Give us a proven top 6 player that might be available and that you think the Habs can acquire and slot him in the top 6.

In this episode we introduce a segment called "Trade or Shade". Trade or Shade required Matt and Dave to provide Vito with a realistic trade that could improve the Canadiens

We talk about the last Habs game, Caufield being sent down to Laval, and Suzuki

In their prime, Dave, Matt and Vito must choose between Ovechkin, Crosby, or McDavid to build their team around.

Who did they choose?

In this episode we discuss  

- Mike Hoffman healthy scratch. Is it deserving?  

- What to do with Evgeni Dadonov  

- Dvorak scored his first NHL hat trick. Matt takes back what he said about Dvorak last episode and gives him his dues   

- We discuss the current NHL lottery draft format and why it sucks. Dave presents an interesting idea/way to re-format it

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 it?

What could Slafkovsky's next contract look like? Should they open the bank right away or sign him to a "bridge" deal?

In this episode, we discuss...

Cole Caufield signs his extension with the Habs for 8 years at 7.85 AAV. We give our thoughts and reaction to the news.

It was important for the Canadiens to sign him to less or the same as Nick Suzuki. The Habs were clear that they would not sign him to more than the captain. Is this a hard ceiling? What message could that convey? Can it deter some UFAs from signing here.

We answer all of that and more...
