Montreal Canadiens interested in Anthony Mantha? | Bodgan Konyushkov signed | Oliver Kapanen review
About this episode
The episode discusses the Montreal Canadiens' interest in Anthony Mantha, the signing of Bogdan Konyushkov, and a review of Oliver Kapanen's season.
Montreal Canadiens eye local star Anthony Mantha as a potential short-term boost, but nagging questions about his injury history and playoff track record linger. Can Mantha recapture last season’s scoring magic and give the Habs an edge, or does his demand for a long-term deal complicate Montreal’s desire to sign him? Laura Saba and Ian Boisvert weigh the risks and rewards, break down the latest contract rumors, and explore how Mantha’s skill set (and lack of physical play) might fit on a line with Ivan Demidov. The hosts also unpack the signing and strategy behind Bogdan Konyushkov’s NHL Entry level deal and KHL loan as well as his delayed NHL debut, providing key insight into the Canadiens’ ongoing search for a right-shot defenseman. The episode wraps up with a season review for rookie Oliver Kapanen, whose breakout year sparks debate over his future role—and trade value—as the Canadiens build toward contention. Will management stay patient or pull the trigger on a bold move?
