In this episode, we discuss some of the biggest questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens heading into the new season.

• It’s been the “Summer of Kent” almost every year since Kent Hughes took over. Was this the first summer where he didn’t make the big splash fans expected, or did his collection of signings ultimately save the offseason?

• Which Canadiens player do you expect to take the biggest step forward this season?

• And with Arber Xhekaj and Zack Bolduc still unsigned, we discuss the latest contract rumors — including reports of a 4–5 year deal for Bolduc at around $4 million per season. Yay or nay?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we debate two big questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• Who will have the better NHL career: Michael Hage or Alexander Zharovsky?

• And we rank the top 5 biggest rivals in Canadiens history. Who makes the list, and who gets left off? Who is in YOUR top 5?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we tackle two hot topics surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• What should the Canadiens do with Arber Xhekaj? Is it time to commit to him with a long-term contract and a bigger role, or should the team trade him while his value is high?

• We also discuss the growing trend of NHL player agents being active on social media. Is it good for the game and player representation, or has it gone too far?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we discuss the Habs current roster and latest signing.

• With Kirby Dach signing a one-year deal, will the Canadiens give him one final opportunity to prove he can be the long-term 2C, or is he better suited for a third-line role?

• Samuel Montembeault is still in Montreal. Should he remain the backup while Jacob Fowler starts the season in Laval, or should the Canadiens keep both young goalies if no trade materializes?

• And finally, if the Canadiens don't acquire a top-six winger, can Zack Bolduc earn a spot on the second line? What could his next contract look like, and what is his long-term ceiling?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we break down the latest offseason developments surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• The Canadiens stood pat at the NHL Entry Draft, making no trades and using their first-round pick. Did Kent Hughes make the right call, or was it a missed opportunity?

• We also dive into the persistent rumors surrounding Kirill Marchenko. Reports suggest a massive trade could be on the table. What might a deal look like, what would Montreal have to give up, and would it be worth the price? Is he the answer?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we debate the best ways for the Montreal Canadiens to improve their roster this offseason.

• Should the Canadiens make a splash at the NHL Entry Draft, target a blockbuster trade, or focus on free agency?

• We break down some of the biggest names linked to Montreal and discuss which player would be the best fit, including Matthew Knies, Mason McTavish, Kirill Marchenko, Jason Robertson, A. J. Greer, Mason Marchment, and Pavel Zacha.

• Which target would you choose, and why?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we dive into some of the biggest offseason questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

(NOTE: This episode was recorded last night - June 8, 2026)

• We give our thoughts on the reported "failed" trade between the Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs involving Matthew Knies. How close was it, and what could have been?

• If Dylan Larkin expands his no-trade list and leaves Montreal off of it, should the Canadiens make a serious push to acquire him?

• Which players are most likely to earn a promotion from the AHL and crack Montreal’s opening-night roster?

• And finally, is Mason McTavish the ideal solution for the Canadiens' long-standing need at 2C?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we discuss some big questions facing the Montreal Canadiens this offseason.

• After 14 seasons in Montreal, Brendan Gallagher has announced that he’ll be moving on. What does his departure mean for the Canadiens, and how should fans remember his legacy?

• Patrik Laine's contract is coming off the books. Good riddance? Or....

• Does the Canadiens' run to the Eastern Conference Final change anything about the long-term vision of Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton?

• And finally, was signing Mike Matheson long-term a mistake?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we discuss the growing questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens as they face elimination.

• Have this series — and the playoffs overall — changed your confidence in Martin St-Louis as the long-term coach of this team?

• With Montreal down 3-1, what’s the realistic path to victory from here?

• And if the series ends Friday, what will the overall feeling be around this season? Will fans look back positively at how far this team came — or focus on the disappointment of how it ended?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D,

• We break down the Montreal Canadiens 2nd round series against the Buffalo Sabres — the highs, the lows, the MVPs, and the biggest disappointments.

• We also discuss our thoughts on Martin St-Louis and his coaching decisions throughout the playoffs so far.

• Looking ahead to Round 2 against the Carolina Hurricanes, are the Hurricanes in a better position because of the extended rest — or could the time off hurt their momentum?

• And finally, how do the Canadiens match up against Carolina? Montreal swept the season series, but does that actually matter once the playoffs begin?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down the first three games of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres.

• What does it say about Jakub Dobes seeing him get involved physically and chirp opposing players? Is it confidence, competitiveness, or exactly what this team needs?

• After three games against Buffalo, do any concerns still remain? Have the Sabres surprised you in any way — or failed to live up to expectations?

• And finally, we discuss the controversial moment at the end of Game 3 when Arber Xhekaj sucker-punched Sam Carrick during a scrum. Did Xhekaj get off easy with only a fine?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down what’s next for the Montreal Canadiens heading into Game 5.

• If you’re Martin St-Louis, do you make adjustments — shake up the lines or bring in new faces?

• How can the Habs slow down Brandon Hagel and limit his impact?

• And could officiating end up being the biggest storyline when this series is all said and done?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down Game 1 and what it means for the Montreal Canadiens moving forward in the series.

• What were the biggest takeaways from the opener — and what needs to change?

• Who is the X-factor for Montreal in this matchup?

• We also discuss the difference between regular season Josh Anderson and playoff Josh Anderson — and why he always seems to elevate his game when it matters most.

• Plus, Lane Hutson logged 29 minutes in Game 1 — is that workload sustainable over a full series?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down key questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens heading into the playoffs.

• If needed, can David Reinbacher step in and fill the void left by Noah Dobson in Round 1 — and handle the pressure?

• The Habs have been stronger on the road this season — so is it actually better for them to finish 3rd and start away, or should they push for home-ice advantage?

• With Michael Hage heading back to college, what does that mean for Montreal’s need at 2C next season?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we dive into some key questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens as the playoffs approach.

• Who would you rather have as an addition for the playoffs: David Reinbacher or Michael Hage?

• What’s the biggest concern heading into the postseason?

• Are the Canadiens legitimate contenders — or still a step or two away?

• And with the season they’ve had, should Martin St-Louis be a serious candidate for the Jack Adams Award?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down the latest developments around the Montreal Canadiens.

• The Habs have called up Adam Engstrom. What does this mean for the lineup and their plans moving forward?

• We also debate whether Arber Xhekaj needs to be in the playoff lineup, and if so, is it on defense or at forward?

• Looking at the bigger picture, what would it mean for the franchise to have a 50-goal scorer and a 100-point player in today’s NHL?

• And finally — can the Canadiens carry their current style of play into the playoffs, or will the tighter, more physical postseason game expose weaknesses?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we tackle some big questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens as the season winds down.

• If the Habs miss the playoffs, is that a failure at this stage, or are they still in a rebuild where patience is expected?

• Looking ahead, if the Habs make the playoffs, which potential first-round matchup is more dangerous: the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Buffalo Sabres?

• And finally, Jakub Dobes as your Game 1 starter heading into the playoffs?

In this episode, we recap the NHL Trade Deadline and discuss whether the Montreal Canadiens did well by not overpaying — or if the lack of moves was disappointing.

According to insiders, members of media, and Kent Hughes himself, the Canadiens were close to completing a big trade. Apparently, had the crossed the finish line, it would have been a “fall-off-your-chair” blockbuster. Some insiders believe the deal involved the Toronto Maple Leafs and Matthew Knies — but it ultimately didn’t cross the finish line. Hughes also suggested the team could revisit the trade this summer. Was it really Knies, or someone else?

We also discuss the goaltending situation. With Samuel Montembeault struggling with consistency, is it time to give Jacob Fowler another opportunity in Montreal?

And finally — should the Canadiens try Kirby Dach at 2C… again?

In this episode, we discuss...

• We break down the latest trade rumors surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• Big names are being linked to the Habs, but with their current cap situation, a major move likely means moving out a contract like Patrik Laine. Is a splash actually realistic?

• We also dive into the reported interest in Robert Thomas. Montreal is NOT the only team in the mix.

• Plus, goaltending rumors are heating up with Sergei Bobrovsky and Jordan Binnington connected to the Canadiens. Legit smoke… or the usual yearly noise?

• All that and more in this episode

In this episode, we discuss...

• Newhook is off IR and is back.

• All signs point to Patrik Laine getting moved before the NHL trade deadline.

• Did the Habs give Patrik Laine a fair shot?

What are the chances that the Canadiens make TWO trades by the NHL Trade Deadline?

RECORDED ON MONDAY NIGHT (FEB 2nd, 2026)

In this episode, we discuss...

• If the Canadiens make no additional moves, would that be an acceptable outcome — or does this roster still need help?

• Once Patrik Laine is cleared to return, how should the Habs deploy him? Does he fit on the top line, replace Dach or Texier, slide into a bottom-six role, or sit out initially?

• And when it comes to acquiring a true top-line winger or legitimate 2C, which player or prospect would you be willing to include in a trade to get that deal done?

In this episode, we discuss...

• The Canadiens are the most penalized team in the league — is that a byproduct of a young roster, or a sign they’re chasing games and taking penalties because they’re getting outplayed?

• How important is it for the Habs to get Montembeault back on track and back into games? Or is it time to move on and ride with Dobes going forward?

• And why does it feel like the coaching staff has leaned away from dressing their heavy hitters when facing physical teams like Buffalo and Boston?

In this episode, we discuss...

Fowler has been sent down, officially ending the three-goalie rotation (for now). Was it the right call by the Canadiens?

How important is it for the Habs to get bigger and tougher? Is it about adding the right player, or finding ways as a team to neutralize heavier, more physical opponents? - A potential under-the-radar idea: should Montreal explore a trade with Columbus for Dmitri Voronkov (if available)?

With the New York Rangers looking to retool, could Alexis Lafrenière be available — and should the Canadiens make that call?

Now that the Habs signed RHD Pickford to an ELC, we dive into David Reinbacher and whether the Habs would actually consider moving him.

In this episode, we discuss...

• There are rumors linking the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames winger Blake Coleman; would you do it, what would you pay, where would he slot in?

• Is it time for the Kent Hughes to have a chat with Brendan Gallagher? He is clearly struggling, and we hate to see him this way. He has always been a heartbeat for the Montreal Canadiens, but it seems that his body is not keeping up with this young and fast team.

• Feb 5 is the beginning of the Olympic break, what moves do we envision the Habs making before then?

• With Monty playing well lately are we a little more comfortable sending Jacob Fowler back to the Rocket? How would you rate Jacob Fowler's time in the NHL so far?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Alex Texier has been skating on the top line with Suzuki and Caufield, but how much longer can he play on that line? Without touching the 2nd line, who would be the right fit to play with Suzuki and Caufield?

• Is the 2C still a priority or are the Habs prioritizing a top 6 winger?

• Is Kirby Dach a future trade chip, or is he still part of the Canadiens’ plans? Maybe he gets slotted next to Suzuki and Caufield in a more supportive role?

• And is Oliver Kapanen the real deal, or simply benefiting from playing alongside Slafkovsky and Demidov? Should the Habs look to capitalize on his current value and use him as a major trade asset?

In this episode, we discuss...

• The Canadiens made a move to bring back Philippe Danault. So, how does the lineup shape up once everyone is healthy?

• With questions surrounding Montembeault’s future, is it a smart move for the Habs to roll with two rookie goaltenders?

• And is Kasperi Kapanen being overlooked, stuck in the shadow of Demidov, Fowler, and the league’s higher-profile rookies?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Are the Canadiens headed for another three-goalie carousel? With Montembeault, Dobes, and Fowler all on the active roster, could the Habs take a page out of Carolina’s book and rotate all three? And is Fowler here to stay, or just a short-term solution?

• We also dive into Demidov’s usage. Despite playing limited minutes—closer to a third-line role—he continues to produce, sitting second in rookie scoring while having logged 65 fewer minutes than current rookie leader Beckett Sennecke.

• New York Islanders fans are loudly claiming they won the Heineman/Dobson trade. Did they actually believe that they have come out on top… or is this just cope?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Goaltending hasn’t been the Canadiens’ strength this season. With names floating around the rumor mill, should Montreal pursue a trade for help in net—maybe even replace Montembeault—or stick with the current duo of Monty and Dobes for this season? Could Buffalo’s Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen be a realistic target?

• Philippe Danault may be available in Los Angeles. Should the Habs explore a reunion and slot him in as their 3C?

• And finally, the tough question: Brendan Gallagher. He’s been a warrior for years, but his play is slipping. After this season, should the Canadiens consider a buyout or look for another way to move his cap hit? Are we witnessing the end of Gally’s time in Montreal?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Since moving to the second line, Slafkovsky has been outstanding — finally looking like the power forward the Canadiens hoped for. Over his last few games, he’s shown shades of a “Rantanen-lite.” At just 21, is he finally breaking through?

• The Canadiens have signed Mike Matheson to a 5-year extension at $6M AAV. With so many LHD on the roster — some playing their off-side — does this make Kaiden Guhle expendable? Could he fetch the long-term 2C the Habs desperately need?

• And is Elias Pettersson actually available? — and would he fit in Montreal?

In this episode, we discuss...

• The Montreal Canadiens have signed 26-year-old winger Alexandre Texier. Texier and the St Louis Blues agreed on mutual contract termination. With all of the Habs injuries, it made sense for them to sign him. Our thoughts on Texier and where he might fit in the lineup

• At the same time, the Habs call up Adam Engstrom. The timing of this call up is interesting. Lots of scouts have been watching the Habs and Laval Rocket games. Especially scouts from St Louis and Nashville. What's brewing there? Who are some viable trade pieces that the Habs can move to acquire a top 6 center/winger?

In this episode, we discuss...

• There's been a lot of negative press around Matvei Michkov lately. Specifically, about his character, work ethic, and how he plays the game. His own captain, Sean Couturier publicly called him out during a post-game interview. With everything out there, and with people posting what scouts said about Michkov during his draft year, did the Habs know something? Is his character the reason why they passed on him? Did they see this coming?

• Kirby Dach looks to have found his game and some of his confidence. Are we drinking the Kirby Dach "Kool-aid" again? Can we finally see the Kirby Dach the Habs traded and hoped for?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Is there a goalie controversy in Montreal? Jakub Dobes' start to the season has been sensational thus far. Montembeault has been struggling and is playing well below .900 SV%. Is it too early to claim that Monty is losing his spot as the Habs number 1 goalie.

• The Habs and Mike Matheson are talking extension. If they come to terms, what is the max the Habs should pay him and for how long? What does it mean for all of the other left-handed dmen on the team?

• What are our Habs powerplay setups? Who and where are each player playing

In this episode, we discuss...

• Noah Dobson's pre-season showing

• The Montreal Canadiens announced their opening night roster. Kapanen and Joe Veleno made the team. The Habs sent down Owen Beck, Florian Xhekaj, and Adam Engstrom. Additionally, Kahkonen and Blais were placed on Waivers. Kahkonen cleared, but Sammy Blais was claimed off Waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Did the Canadiens make a mistake?

• So far, the Canadiens line rushes have Patrik Laine on the 4th line. Are we already getting off on a bad note with him? OR does it make sense (for now)

In this episode, we discuss...

• Reinbacher injured.... again! Is David Reinbacher injury prone? Do you still believe he can be the top 4 RD that the Canadiens drafted him for? Is he an Untouchable?

• There's a couple of pre-season games left. Joe Veleno, Florian Xhekaj, Sammy Blais, Oliver Kapanen, and Owen Beck are still with the team. Who makes the opening night roster? Who has made a good impression?

• Fantasy hockey question: Who is a good sleeper or bounce back player to draft in this year's hockey pools?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Which Habs player(s) can be the X-Factor this year?

• According to Jimmy Murphy, the Montreal Canadiens were among some teams that reached out to the Pittsburgh Penguins and checked in on Malkin's availability. At the age he is at (39), is Malkin still a viable option for the Montreal Canadiens. Obviously, he is not a long-term fixture, but could he be an option for this year?

• Should the Habs consider having an alternate jersey with an alternate logo? Or just a version without the classic and legendary CH?

In this episode, we discuss...

• Ivan Demidov was a standout at the Rookie Showcase. You could say that there was Ivan Demidov, and then, there was everybody else. Barring injury, can he be a point per game player in his rookie year?

• Kent Hughes mentioned that this is the most talented roster the Canadiens have had since he took over (It's hard not to agree with him). Does that make them a lock to make the playoffs this year or does losing some of the defensive players they had (Dvorak, Armia, etc.), leave us with some questions?

• At the Canadiens golf tournament, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton stated that they are willing to overpay for the right player/upgrade. If we had a say, who is a player that WE would overpay to acquire (Realistic acquisitions. No McDavid)

In this episode, we discuss...

• Ken Dryden, gone too soon. What he meant for the Canadiens and the community.

• Carey Price's contract along with a 2026 5th round pick traded to the San Jose Sharks for defenseman Gannon Laroque

• With Carey Price's contract off the books, does it pave the way for the Habs to trade for a 2nd line center? Mason McTavish would be the perfect fit, but way too costly. What about Jared McCann? Pavel Zacha? or the dream... Sidney Crosby?

• If Crosby were to agree to be traded to the Montreal Canadiens, but it would cost Michael Hage plus some other pieces. Do you do it?

Question(s) of the week: Will the Montreal Canadiens break the 100 points mark in the standings? Do you want Jared McCann? Why or why not?

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?
