Montreal Canadiens Kaiden Guhle: playoff warrior | Should Habs look to Kraken for possible trades?

About this episode

The episode discusses Kaiden Guhle's playoff performance and potential trades involving the Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Kraken.

Montreal Canadiens fans witness Kaiden Guhle’s fierce playoff emergence, but could his future with the team be in jeopardy? As trade rumors swirl and defensive depth creates tough decisions, Montreal’s management faces pivotal choices that could reshape the blue line—especially with Guhle’s physical edge and reliable first pass standing out in high-stakes postseason moments. Laura Saba and Ian Boisvert break down Guhle’s season grades, explore second-line centre options via potential trades with the Seattle Kraken—including Matty Beniers and Chandler Stephenson—and debate which core defensemen might be moved for long-term gains. The hosts also speculate on which must-see moments will feature in Season 3 of "The Rebuild," from the blockbuster Matthew Knies non-trade drama to behind-the-scenes revelations on team chemistry and leadership. Will the Canadiens find the missing piece for a contending roster, or are bigger shakeups on the horizon?
