In this episode, we discuss...

• Evgeny Kuznetsov has made it known that he would like to play for the Montreal Canadiens. However, it appears the feeling is not mutual. It's been reported that the Montreal Canadiens are NOT interested in signing Kuznetsov. Considering the question marks around the 2C, is this the right decision?

• With the additions that Habs have made during the offseason, the Athletic puts the Montreal Canadiens at a 69% chance of making the playoffs. Too low? Too high? Just right?

• Which Habs player defines the 2000s and 2010s?

And

Which Habs defines or will define the 2020s?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens did not get Jordan Kyrou, but they did acquire winger Zachary Bolduc from the St Louis Blues, in exchange for right-hand defenseman Logan Mailloux

Bolduc and Mailloux were both drafted in the 1st round of the 2021 NHL draft. Bolduc was selected 17th by the St Louis Blues, and Mailloux 31st by the Habs.

Was this a good trade for the Canadiens?

Currently, the Habs are over the cap by almost $3 million. They have a lot of depth on defense. Especially, on the left side. With Lane Hutson, Kaiden Guhle, Noah Dobson, and Arber Xhekaj, could Kent Hughes look to trade Mike Matheson? or should he take a more cautious approach and keep him until they are certain that Reinbacher can start the season with the Habs (Yes, we know Reinbacher is RD, check out the episode)?

Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak are gone. They have signed with LA and Philly. Will the Canadiens miss them? Especially on the PK or in some defensive situations?

There are rumors circulating that Mason McTavish is not overly happy with his situation in Anaheim and that he could be available. Should the Canadiens submit an offer sheet for Mason McTavish? Should they trade for him? Wouldn't he be the perfect 2C (short and long term)?

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED DURING THE 1st ROUND OF THE 2025 NHL DRAFT

In this episode, we discuss...

• The Montreal Canadiens acquired 25-year-old right-hand defenseman Noah Dobson in exchange for Emil Heineman, and two 1st round picks (16 & 17) in the 2025 NHL Draft
• In addition, the Habs have signed Dobson to 8-years $9.5 million dollars, making him the highest paid Hab since Carey Price (10.5).

Our thoughts on the trade, what Dobson does for the team, and where he fits in the lineup.

• Does Kent Hughes have any other trades up his sleeve? They have been linked to Jordan Kyrou and have been rumored to want to shed some salary.

• What are they going to do with Matheson? He doesn't really have a spot anymore and has fallen down the depth chart. He has 1-year remaining at a $4.875 cap

In this episode, we discuss...

• Could Lane Hutson sign the first 10+ million-dollar contract since Carey Price? Should they extend him as soon as possible or wait it out?

• In recent memory, who is the one former Habs player (in our mind) that would've changed things for the Habs? A player that we wished we could have seen more from, OR did NOT get hurt, OR if they had just lived up to their potential?

• Dave and Luca are asked to "walk a mile in HuGo's shoes" and give their best sales pitch to the current UFAs

Question of the week - Reply on YouTube for a quicker response: Who is that one former Habs player for you (Regarding the 2nd topic of the episode)?

In this episode, we discuss...

While the Stanley Cup finals is going, the Habs are in offseason mode, and we all know how crazy the offseason rumor mill can be. So, it's only natural for us to talk about the latest NHL Trade Rumors. Especially, the ones that are linked to the Montreal Canadiens

• Nicolas Hague to the Canadiens? But why? Where's the fit?

• Could William Karlsson be a good 2C option for the Montreal Canadiens?

• James Mirtle has reported that Alex Tuch's name is surfacing in trade rumors. Should the Habs pursue him? Is he not the type of player that Jeff Gorton was referring to in his end of season presser?

In this episode, we discuss...

Does Kirby Dach still have a spot on the Montreal Canadiens? If so, where? What if the Habs traded him or included him in a bigger package to address a need?

Is Sam Bennett the ideal 2C for the Montreal Canadiens?

Are the New York Islanders and the Montreal Canadiens perfect trade partners. The NYI won the lottery draft and are getting the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft. Some have speculated whether this could kickstart a full rebuild for the Islanders. Assuming they go through with a rebuild, and that everyone is available, and assuming that the Habs and Isles want to make a blockbuster trade. What would it take from the Habs to acquire Barzal or Horvat and Dobson?

Arber Xhekaj as a forward instead of a defenseman?

In this episode, we discuss...

The Canadiens’ 2024–25 season came to a close with a Game 5 playoff loss to the Washington Capitals. Now that the dust has settled, we’re looking back at the moments that defined the Habs’ rollercoaster season — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. What could be next and what we hope to see the management do this offseason.

• Sum up the Habs' season

• Top moment and/or play(s) of the Habs season

• What is the minimum that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have to do this offseason to have a successful offseason

• Next steps

• If Sidney Crosby decides to move on from Pittsburgh, could the Habs be his preferred destination? If so, should the Canadiens trade for Sidney Crosby (it feels crazy to even ask... c'mon it's Sidney Crosby... right!?!)

• At the start of the season, was there a player we criticized that we’d be willing to apologize to now?

In this episode, we discuss...

Regular season Josh Anderson VS Playoff Josh Anderson

When was the last time both teams in the same game, of the same playoff series, lost their number 1 goalies?!

Samuel Montembeault and Logan Thompson were both hurt in game 3 and left the game. Currently, there is not update on their status for game 4. We might be seeing a Dobes VS Lindgren battle. Which of the two give their team the edge in goal?

Arber Xhekaj returned to the Habs lineup and added a physical presence. Some (NOT US) have even suggested that he is one of, if not the reason the Habs played the way that they did and won game 3. How much of an effect did Xhekaj's presence have on the team? Is the Xhekaj effect real or is it blown out of proportion?

Question(s): Do you attribute the Habs game 3 win because of the Bell Centre crowd, or because of the Xhekaj effect, or both?

In this episode, we welcome special guest Marco D'Amico

Marco was the first one to break the news that Ivan Demidov signed his entry-level contract and was coming over to the Montreal Canadiens.

We ask him how he found out, how it all went down, and where does he fit in the lineup?

How will he adjust to Martin St. Louis' coaching style and how much of an impact will he have right out the gate.
