The Montreal Canadiens do some housekeeping with their recent Joe Veleno signing. Is this a game-changer or just another move in the NHL's offseason chess match?
We dissect the Habs' latest acquisition, exploring Veleno's potential impact on the team's lineup and penalty kill. We also break down the newly released NHL schedule, highlighting the "Frozen Frenzy" event and analyzing how the rest of the schedule affects the Canadiens' season. From Sidney Crosby trade speculation to recommended hockey resources for new fans, this mailbag episode covers it all.
Tune in for thoughts on Veleno's projected performance and discover why we believe rivalry games against Toronto, Boston, and Ottawa have lost their luster.
