Michael Hage at center in the NHL: His coach has no doubts

Ever since the CH drafted Michael Hage in 2024, many people have viewed him as the team’s future second-line center. There’s a need to be filled in the city, and we know Hage has the talent to hold his own on a top-6 line. And since he’s been playing center for the past few years, […]

Michael Hage: His coach confirms he will return to the NCAA

Last spring, Michael Hage decided not to make the leap to the pros. The decision surprised many, given that he had just had two strong seasons in the NCAA. And generally speaking, it’s very rare to see prospects of his caliber spend more than two years in the American college system. It’s happened before, but […]

Alexandre Carrier Identifies the Key Factor That Will Help the CH Improve in 2026-27

The Canadiens didn’t acquire a single new player this summer. They didn’t lose much (Brendan Gallagher, Joe Veleno, and Patrik Laine were no longer part of the plans), but they certainly didn’t get any better. Kent Hughes has undoubtedly tried to acquire some, let’s be clear. But so far, he hasn’t succeeded. As a result, […]

“Maddox Dagenais could be a 40-goal scorer in the NHL”

In the most recent draft, the St. Louis Blues selected Maddox Dagenais with the 16th overall pick. The Quebec native, a big guy who plays center, is a prospect who’s easy to like. A strong center with an excellent shot—that’s something many, many teams covet. It’s interesting, when you hear what went on behind the […]

Nick Suzuki: Second-Best Center in the Atlantic Division, According to The Hockey News

Nick Suzuki just had an exceptional season. The Canadiens’ captain scored 29 goals and tallied 101 points in 2025–26, while also winning the Selke Trophy. He logged significant ice time at center on the top line and led his team—the second-youngest in the league—to the Eastern Conference Finals. And since then, it feels like Suzuki, […]

VIDEO: Patrik Laine Skates in His CH Gear in Florida

Where will Patrik Laine play in 2026–27? That question remains unanswered at this time. The Finnish player, who appeared in only five games last season, is looking for a contract. He is free to sign at any time, but he hasn’t done so yet. In the meantime, however, Laine is making sure to stay in […]

The Canadiens risk losing the rights to a prospect next week

August 15, while it doesn’t usually steal the show, is a significant date on the NHL calendar. It’s the date on which certain NCAA prospects—if they haven’t signed a contract—can become unrestricted free agents. We’re talking about players who have completed four seasons in the NCAA and who, in theory, are set to graduate from […]

“I think the CH is considering trading Arber Xhekaj.”

Arber Xhekaj still doesn’t have a contract for next season. The CH still holds the defenseman’s rights, but no agreement has been announced yet. Is the matter settled, and will the contract be announced early next week? We’ll see. That said, contract or not, Xhekaj is in a precarious situation in Montreal. There’s competition on […]

The Gaudreau Brothers: Their Father Reflects on the Tragedy Nearly Two Years Later

It has already been nearly two years since Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau lost their lives. The two brothers, who were set to attend their sister’s wedding the next day, were fatally struck by a truck while out for a bike ride. The tragedy, of course, shocked the hockey world. We know that the defendant in […]

Alexander Zharovsky’s coach “doesn’t want him to think about Montreal”

Alexander Zharovsky is one of the Canadiens’ most promising prospects. The young Russian winger, who had a strong rookie season in the KHL last year, could be part of the solution in Montreal in the years to come. Especially since he’s a childhood friend of Ivan Demidov—that’s a great source of motivation. That said, Zharovsky […]
