Which Canadien Gets a Shot with Deslauriers Out?
September 23rd, 2018 Opportunities tend to present themselves during the preseason, both to prospects looking to make a name for themselves and fringe NHLers trying to stay in the show. Sometimes, in Montreal Canadiens forward Nicolas Deslauriers’ case, those opportunities come about at the expense of others. Deslauriers Out Indefinitely The facial...
3 Canadiens With Something to Prove
August 20th, 2018 With so many Montreal Canadiens players struggling last year, the list of Habs looking for redemption is long. Whether it’s proving they are still elite, worth the hype or the ability to stay healthy, the hunger and compete level for the 2018-19 edition of the Habs should be a lot higher than it was last year. However, there are three...
Solving the Canadiens’ Waiver Wire Dilemma
August 5th, 2018 Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing, even for the Montreal Canadiens, who have fallen on hard times. The bad news is obvious: They are looking down the barrel of a third non-playoff finish in the last four seasons. The good new is that the team’s prospect pipeline, which got somewhat replenished at this past NHL Entry...
5 Habs on the Outside Looking In
April 9th, 2018 The Montreal Canadiens spent the last two months of their season auditioning many of their young prospects at the NHL level to see where they are at in their development. Some have shown good promise and have potentially pencilled themselves into next year’s lineup. For others, it’s obvious they aren’t quite ready yet. This is a...
Canadiens Development System Needs a Reset
February 11th, 2018 An issue the Montreal Canadiens have had for the last decade is prospect development. Whether it’s sitting young players in the press box in favour of veterans or putting them in a role they aren’t suited for, Montreal’s process for developing its prospects doesn’t always make sense. Drafting players is only one step in acquiring...
Canadiens Pick Poehling “Brings Speed and Smarts”
June 24th, 2017 Ryan Poehling may or may not have been the best player available to the Montreal Canadiens at No. 25. He was just maybe the best player available for the Habs, though. Weak Draft, Strong Selection Considering the volatility of this year’s weak Entry Draft, it’s hard to assess just who were the big winners on Friday night. The...
Canadiens Have Lousy Luck at No. 25
June 14th, 2017 When the Montreal Canadiens make the No. 25 pick at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the bar will be set pretty low… metaphorically speaking. In spite of Michael McCarron being listed as 6’6”, he is probably the best the Habs have ever done with the pick in the past. McCarron the Best of the Worst In McCarron’s defense, the 2013...
Top Prospects Primed to Make 2017-18 Canadiens
June 8th, 2017 It’s almost as if the Montreal Canadiens have a love-hate relationship with their prospects. They seemingly love over-seasoning them in the American Hockey League and hate it when they can’t produce on the fourth line once they’re called up. The hope is that the recent Andreas Martinsen deal wasn’t as much a sign of things to...

Bergevin Is Overrating Canadiens' Prospects
February 10th, 2017 The Montreal Canadiens have had a significant point decline since the beginning of the year and it's starting to bring back nightmares of last season. What’s even worse is that they’ve managed to let it happen with Carey Price in net, unlike last season. Of course, the Canadiens have had a ton of injuries this year but the poor...
Michael McCarron Looks Ready
January 13th, 2017 It's hard to see the good during tough times. When the Canadiens began to lose players to injury at an alarming rate, fans started experiencing nightmares that what happened last season would repeat itself.
