Habs Trends: Building The Foundation Early (& Often)
Ever changing constants are an intriguing oxymoron and one that the hockey world lends itself to, whether it realizes that or not. The Montreal Canadiens have been a visible case in point of just that in their first small handful of showcases to start the young season. Early and often are the keynotes and they […]
Paul Byron: Breakaway To The Bank
Bless Marc Bergevin’s lucky stars because when he snagged Paul Byron off of waivers, there was a galaxy’s worth of them. Imagine the surprise of Canadiens fans across the map if they were to be told that a guy chosen in the sixth round by the Buffalo Sabres and left out to dry on […]
The Prospects of the Canadiens’ Future
With the recent trade of now former Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty, which landed Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki, and a second round pick from the Vegas Golden Knights, it is safe to assume that the Habs have committed to a full-fledged rebuild. This means it is only a matter of time until the Canadiens core of veterans are […]
The Package For Max Pacioretty: Canadiens Captain Vegas Bound
The grandest saga of the Montreal Canadiens off season has come to a close. Debate and speculation can now occupy themselves with the impending roster decisions to be made as well as the selection of the next captain. That, however, is for another day. Another captain is gone, another superstar sent packing […]
Everything Is Rosey: Habs Extend Jacob De La Rose
Who says the St. Louis Blues are snapping up all of the centers this side of John Tavares? The Show Me State may be showing their money in hoards following a big (losing) trade for Ryan O’Reilly and the far too generous signing of now former rival Tyler Bozak but The Swedish Sensation Jacob de […]
July 1 signings around the Atlantic Division
On Canada Day, as is the case every year, the National Hockey League’s free agent period re-opened and free agent frenzy was a crazy one. Led by the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the John Tavares sweepstakes and the Montreal Canadiens bringing back Tomas Plekanec who is at 998 career games, many teams added pieces for […]
Habs Agree to Terms with Michael Chaput and Kenny Agostino
DEPTH. DEPTH. DEPTH. That is the story of the Canadiens on the opening day of free agency and there is nothing wrong with that. They shouldn’t dive into crazy contracts with long term when they are in currently in a period of retooling. In addition to signing Ouellet and Peca earlier today, the Habs announced […]
Jesperi Kotkaniemi Signs ELC In Montreal
Third overall pick (to the apparent surprise/chagrin of at least a couple in Dallas for one reason or another…) Jesperi Kotkaniemi has made his start in Montreal official as he has officially put pen to paper on his entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens. As the Canadiens begin their entrance into The Attitude Era […]
Canadiens Ink Xavier Ouellet, Matthew Peca
With the free agency market now open, the Canadiens have added depth to their organization with the signings of blue liner Xavier Ouellet and forward Matthew Peca (no relation to Michael Peca). The Canadiens inked Ouellet to a one-year, two-way deal worth $700, 000 in the NHL and $275, 000 in the AHL (guaranteed salary […]
Montreal is smart to take advantage of teams looking to free cap space
The Montreal Canadiens have a busy summer ahead of them, loaded with cap space and looking to stockpile on young depth pieces and draft picks ahead of a “re-tooling period”. While it is difficult to rebuild with contracts carried by Carey Price and Shea Weber, it is possible to re-tool and send the franchise in […]
