Seems Habs options are: - A surefire true #1 / #2 center. That will cost an arm, a leg and a lot more - A solid #2 with some question marks. It will cost an arm or a leg. - Stick with what you have. Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make unless you spin your wheels

In case you missed it, here are my rankings for the 2026 NHL entry draft, from 1 to 64.

My heart goes out to family, friends and colleagues of the police officer who was murdered today on Montreal.

Excellent take on Cup requirements and Habs position in the build toward a Cup.

🚨TKACHUK DEALT! - HABSCAST AT 8:15🚨 I weigh in on the two huge Atlantic Division deals that may well tighten the gap between two playoff teams and two non-playoff teams. Will Toronto and FLA overtake TB and Ott next season, and perhaps even MTL? youtube.com/live/abjCraa...

A well-rested, Healthy Florida team should be a hell of an opponent to deal with next season. Good luck to the rest of the Atlantic

Brady Tkachuck traded to Florida for 3 first round picks, and a second round pick

It’s the end of hockey on the CBC. I know it’s business and business is the only thing that matters today but I feel bad for people, often seniors, that can only afford basic cable.

Former NHL player Kyle Calder passed away at a very young age of 47. My heart goes out to his friends and family. RIP

Glad to see you continue with the draft rankings. Nice thumbnail on each player. Hope this eases some of the workload entailed by the print version.

The Laval Rockets will have to start looking for a new head coach as Pascal Vincent has accepted an assistant coach job with the Seattle Kraken

Here it is folks, my first round rankings for the 2026 NHL Entry draft. Would love to hear your thoughts. It's only $5 and you get this and a whole lot more coming up.

I don't see how the Oilers hiring Mike Babcock will improve their goaltending, their defence or their forward depth enough the make them contenders. The real issue was getting the right GM, not coaching.

Sa saison exceptionnelle ne passe pas sous le silence → www.danslescoulisses.com/defenseur-et...

Some NHL GM's, usually those who just want to save their jobs, are so desperate to hire experienced NHL coaches that they will prefer to hire the cardboard cut-out of Punch Imlach over a younger, less experienced coach with good ideas.

According to journalist Helen St-James, who has covered the Detroit Red Wings for a long time, Dylan Larkin submitte a list of 3 teams he would accept a trade to: Floria Vegas Minnesota He is going to have to do better than that IMO. He's not giving much options to Yzerman.

Rick Springhetti and I address the rumours surrounding Gallagher and Montembeault, and whether there are teams interested in taking on their contracts. We also feature our NHL Draft Prospects of the Week. Live at 7 PM ET! youtube.com/live/GNAwrca...

Marner having a hell of a playoffs. Lesson here is that Toronto managed to build a team whose sum was lesser than its parts. They have had good players in the last few years but their weaknesses always sank them.

Finally get to sit down to watch the game just to watch Vegas score twice. 😡

Annual daddy/daughter seafood boil supper!! We killed it folks! :)

In the past 10 days, there have been some rumours that the following centers are available: Larkin McDavid McTavish Barzal Habs really need to get into what seems like a big time buyers market. :)

This is so awesome. Habs asked Suzuki to surprise Caufield with the Lady Bing while asking Caufield to surprise Suzuki with the Frank Selke award. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bso6...

Nick Suzuki wins the Selke Troohy.

If i am the Habs, i am contacting Detroit to look into the possibility of acquiring Dylan Larkin. Of course it don't mean give whatever it takes, but he could be a perfect fit. As for his age, Crosby, Stamkos, Zuccarello, Letang and others are all in the mid 30s and doing well.

I am so incredibly sad to read this. It happened just a few streets away from my home. I ask myself if maybe i ran into her family while walking Barney. RIP little one. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Happy Pride month to those who celebrate, those who aren’t quite ready to celebrate, and those who support. 🌈 To everyone else, I hope a thousand birds shit on your car.

Not a hell of a lot is being said at the Habs end of year press conference nor should there be. A lot is up in the air right now.

As per princess Kahlea, I am NOT watching hockey right now. 😂

Carolina is a juggernaut. As a forever Sharks fan, I’ve been wildly cheering for your team. You given us outer fans a great playoff series. We wanted Canada to have the Cup back where it began. We here do not deserve it. Not this year!! Be proud, Habs. Be proud!!
