Justin Barron on the ballot: We’re a long way from all that with Alexandre Carrier

In December 2024, the Canadiens completed a trade with the Predators. With the Habs’ defensive corps struggling, the club sent Justin Barron to Nashville to acquire veteran goaltender Alexandre Carrier. And as soon as the trade was announced, people wondered what could have possibly prompted the Preds to agree to such a deal. Since then, […]

Kirby Dach: Here’s What the CH Was Offered (and Turned Down)

Kirby Dach isn’t having a great training camp. The forward, who is in his final year before becoming a unrestricted free agent, had a great opportunity to prove that he deserves to stay in Montreal long-term. The saga surrounding his two-part qualifying offer should logically have sent him a message, but that doesn’t seem to […]

VIDEO: Gleb Pugachyov Earns His First Point in Russia This Season

Gleb Pugachyov hasn’t had the start to the season he’d hoped for in Russia. The Canadiens’ most recent first-round pick suffered a concussion early in the season, forcing him to miss a few games. Obviously, that’s not ideal. The good news is that Pugachyov is now back in action. The young player was in action […]

Surprise: Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov won’t be playing in Ottawa either

This morning, we learned that Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov won’t be playing at the Bell Centre tonight. It was a bit surprising, but there was still a chance we might see both of them play in Ottawa. Because, let’s not forget, once again, the Habs will be playing two games at the same time […]

The Canadiens Announce a First Round of Roster Cuts

As of this morning, the Canadiens still hadn’t made a single cut since the start of training camp. That made sense, considering the team still has two games to play tonight and needed players to fill out the roster… but there were still too many of them. There were still 57 players in town: a […]

Next destination: Patrik Laine is said to be picky

Patrik Laine still doesn’t have a contract lined up for the upcoming season. And with a week to go before the season opener, it’s safe to assume his season won’t start in September like everyone else’s. Even if he were to sign tonight, he probably wouldn’t be ready to play in a week, you know… […]

David Reinbacher: There is a strong need for him to fill a position

Things have been going really well for David Reinbacher since the start of the Canadiens’ training camp. The defenseman, who is looking to secure a full-time spot in the NHL, is one of the players who has stood out the most after two nights of preseason games. He’s clearly improved over the past few months, […]

Trade Request: Senators Owner Contradicts Brady Tkachuk

After years of uncertainty about his future, Brady Tkachuk was traded to the Panthers during the last offseason. The former Senators captain, who had publicly committed to the team at the end of last season, privately requested a trade. Just goes to show you have to take what’s said publicly with a grain of salt, […]

30 pounds lighter and fluent in English: Matvei Michkov is a changed man

In 2025–26, Matvei Michkov’s physical condition became a talking point. The young Russian was out of favor with his coach, Rick Tocchet, who publicly called him out for it. This even led to Michkov—despite his immense talent—being left out of the playoffs. So people wondered if the kid, after all that, would learn from his […]

Patrik Laine with the Red Wings: Pierre LeBrun Discusses the Idea

Patrik Laine still has no contract in sight for the 2026-27 season. Reminder: the season starts in… 10 days. This means that, now more than ever, we should expect Laine not to be ready for the start of the season. Even if he were to sign with a team today, it’s safe to assume he’d […]
