The Starr & D'Amico Show

Montreal Canadiens fans may have another goalie prospect to get excited about 

While most of the attention has been on Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes, Alexis Cournoyer is quietly putting together a standout season at Cornell University. The 2025 5th-round pick is turning heads in the NCAA with elite numbers, strong positioning, and a calm presence in net.

Is Cournoyer becoming a legit prospect in the Canadiens’ goalie pipeline? Could he be the next surprise development success story for the Habs?

Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down Cournoyer’s season, his playing style, and where he fits among Montreal’s growing list of young goaltenders.

Kirby Dach is hurt… again.

The Montreal Canadiens forward is out 2–4 weeks with an upper-body injury, raising serious questions about his future in Montreal. With Dach set to become a restricted free agent (RFA) at the end of the season, Kent Hughes and the Habs front office have a major decision to make.

Can the Canadiens trust Kirby Dach to stay healthy long-term? Or is it time to pivot as younger players like Owen Beck, Michael Hage, and others push for roster spots?

In this video, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down:

Dach’s injury history and durability concerns

His fit in the Canadiens' rebuild timeline

Contract options as an RFA

Internal competition from rising prospects

What the Habs SHOULD do this offseason

Is Kirby Dach still part of the future… or is his time in Montreal running out?

The Montreal Canadiens had their momentum slowed at the Bell Centre as the San Jose Sharks skated away with a 4–2 win. Rookie sensation Macklin Celebrini led the way with two goals and an assist, while Collin Graf added a goal and two helpers in the win.

Montreal opened the scoring early with a goal from Cole Caufield, but San Jose answered quickly and built a multi-goal lead. Nick Suzuki brought the Canadiens back within one late in the second period, but Celebrini sealed the game with an empty-net goal.

On this episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down the Canadiens’ loss, discuss the standout performance from Celebrini, and analyze what went wrong for Montreal. What does this result mean for the Habs moving forward, and what adjustments need to be made after the loss at the Bell Centre?

The Montreal Canadiens have cap space — but how do they make room for their top prospects?

In this episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico take you to “NHL Cap Class” and break down how the Canadiens can fit Jacob Fowler, David Reinbacher, and Michael Hage under the salary cap this season.

Is Jacob Fowler in Montreal to stay after his call-up? Could David Reinbacher be the next Laval Rocket standout to get the call from Kent Hughes? And what about Michael Hage — could the Canadiens sign their NCAA prospect to his entry-level contract sooner than expected?

We explain how the NHL salary cap, entry-level contracts, cap hits, call-ups impact Montreal’s roster decisions as the organization prepares for the next wave of young talent.

If you’re wondering how the Habs manage their cap space while integrating their future core, this is the breakdown you need.

The Montreal Canadiens could soon face an interesting decision: who gets the call from Laval?

With both Jacob Fowler and David Reinbacher having strong seasons with the Laval Rocket, the Habs may have two legitimate options if they need help at the NHL level.

Should Montreal address a need in goal by giving Fowler an opportunity? Or would the Canadiens be better served reinforcing the blue line with Reinbacher’s size, mobility and defensive presence?

On this episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down the cases for both prospects, how they’ve performed in Laval, what the Canadiens’ current roster situation looks like, and which player makes the most sense to call up if Kent Hughes decides to make a move.

Is it time for one of the Habs’ top prospects to get the call?

The Montreal Canadiens were active behind the scenes at the NHL trade deadline — but the big move never came. Reports indicate GM Kent Hughes worked the phones until the final minutes trying to complete a “significant deal,” but the trade ultimately fell through before the deadline.

So what happened? And more importantly… could the Canadiens circle back this summer?

Hughes confirmed the Canadiens spent a lot of time working on one specific trade file that went right down to the deadline, but it simply couldn’t get across the finish line. However, the door remains open for Montreal to revisit the deal in the offseason as the team continues trying to take the next step toward contender status.

In this video, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down:
• The significant trade Montreal tried to make
• Why the deal didn’t happen at the deadline
• What it says about the Canadiens’ long-term plan
• And whether Kent Hughes could circle back this summer

The Canadiens may not have made a splash at the deadline — but the groundwork for a major move might already be in place.
