About this episode
The episode discusses potential NHL trade requests involving the Montreal Canadiens and evaluates the prospects of Maddox Dagenais in the upcoming draft.
NHL stars sound off—will the Montreal Canadiens cash in? Brendan Gallagher, Dylan Larkin, Darnell Nurse, and Connor Hellebuyck are all at the heart of dramatic trade chatter as player power reshapes the league. Laura Saba and Ian Boisvert debate whether the Canadiens can snag a top-6 center or scoring winger as rivals search for locker room solutions and cap space. From player autonomy to trade clause strategy, who will make the boldest move before the draft? Spotlight shifts to NHL Draft riser Maddox Dagenais, the Canadiens’ 2C strategy, and what Montreal’s front office should (or shouldn't) do with coveted players like Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson. Plus, relive the best moments of Montreal’s rollercoaster season—from Cole Caufield’s 50-goal milestone to the unforgettable playoff surge. Can Kent Hughes outmaneuver shaky GMs and tilt the future in the Habs’ favour?
