Wait! This article is the second part of Antoine Mathieu’s “10 Reasons the Habs will be Better this Year.” Make sure you read part one first! 5. The Team is Tougher and More Disciplined One pattern that’s clear in the moves that were made this summer is that Marc Bergevin wanted a team that was […]

Over the last month or so, one of the hottest topics in the hockey world has been whether or not the Canadiens are a better team after trading PK Subban for Shea Weber. I have let the dust settle and I am ready to lay out my ten reasons as why the team is closer […]

Millions of hearts broke last night after the announcement of PK Subban‘s departure from Montreal and the acquisition of Shea Weber. I won’t write too much on how much Subban meant to the fanbase and the whole province of Quebec as my colleagues have done, and will continue to do a great job, summing up […]

With the draft right around the corner, I have decided to write draft profiles on the players that could be on Montreal’s radar for their ninth overall pick. To fit with the theme of picking ninth, I will be doing nine different player profiles for the Habs’ potential pick. Players like Auston Matthews, Patrick Laine, […]

LOGAN BROWN CENTER 6’6.25’’ & 220 LBS LEFT HANDED WINDSOR SPITFIRES, OHL 59 GP, 21 GOALS AND 53 ASSISTS FINAL RANKING ON NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING – 7 (NORTH AMERICAN SKATERS) PLAYER COMPARISON: MATS SUNDIN PLAYER PROFILE Logan Brown probably offers the most potential of any player outside of the consensus top five (Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi, […]

ALEXANDER NYLANDER LEFT WINGER 6’0.5’’ & 178 LBS RIGHT HANDED MISSISSAUGA STEELHEADS, OHL 57 GP, 28 GOALS AND 47 ASSISTS FINAL RANKING ON NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING – 3 (NORTH AMERICAN SKATERS) PLAYER COMPARISON: ALEX SEMIN PLAYER PROFILE Nylander has NHL star written all over him. He owns a shot that would make the majority of […]

CLAYTON KELLER CENTER 5’10’’ & 163.98LBS LEFT HANDED US NATIONAL U18 TEAM, USDP 62 GP, 37 GOALS AND 70 ASSISTS FINAL RANKING ON NHL CENTRAL SKATING – 9 (NORTH AMERICAN SKATERS) PLAYER COMPARISON: RAY WHITNEY Clayton Keller is an offensive juggernaut; he can pretty much do it all: shoot, skate, prevent goals and create them […]

TYSON JOST CENTER 5’11 & 189.5 LBS LEFT HANDED PENTICTON VEES, BCHL 48 GP, 42 GOALS AND 62 ASSISTS FINAL RANKING ON NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING – 16 (NORTH AMERICAN SKATERS) PLAYER COMPARISON: LOGAN COUTURE PLAYER PROFILE The Kelowna-native has a lot of tools that make him an interesting prospect.

Although most people are recovering from the weekend or trying to lose the pounds they’ve gained from all the chocolate they ate over Easter, Marc Bergevin has been working and announced the signing of two promising prospects from the collegiate ranks: goaltender Charlie Lindgren and defenseman Tom Parisi. Although these moves are not the ones […]

Bob McKenzie reported earlier today that there’s a strong possibility that Alexei Emelin will be on the trading block this summer. The rugged defenseman currently has a full no trade clause but that clause becomes a limited one starting this summer. Is Emelin expendable? I believe that Emelin is definitely tradeable for what he brings […]

As if this disastrous season couldn’t get any stranger, the news came out on Wednesday that former Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jarred Tinordi has been suspended 20 games by the NHL for violating the NHL’s Performance Enhancing Substances program. This adds another mysterious layer to the trade that went down between the Canadiens and the Arizona […]

The Canadiens made a very surprising move Friday around noon when they announced the signing of enigmatic forward Alexander Semin to a one year contract. Semin was bought out by the Carolina Hurricanes on July 30th after a rather catastrophic season for the Russian. The former forty goal scorer was limited to only six goals […]

With the development camp just ending, I thought it would be perfect timing to make my own rankings on the organization’s top 15 best prospects. My rankings are based on potential, likelihood to reach that potential and NHL readiness. I excluded players like Jacob De La Rose and Greg Pateryn because they will most likely […]

On one of the most exciting days for hockey fans, along with Draft Day and the Trade Deadline, the Canadiens traded fan favorite Brandon Prust to Vancouver for Zack Kassian and a fifth round pick. Although Prust was a fan favorite and will definitely be missed, this is a great coup by Marc Bergevin. THANK […]
