In this episode, we discuss some of the biggest questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens heading into the new season.

• It’s been the “Summer of Kent” almost every year since Kent Hughes took over. Was this the first summer where he didn’t make the big splash fans expected, or did his collection of signings ultimately save the offseason?

• Which Canadiens player do you expect to take the biggest step forward this season?

• And with Arber Xhekaj and Zack Bolduc still unsigned, we discuss the latest contract rumors — including reports of a 4–5 year deal for Bolduc at around $4 million per season. Yay or nay?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we tackle two hot topics surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• What should the Canadiens do with Arber Xhekaj? Is it time to commit to him with a long-term contract and a bigger role, or should the team trade him while his value is high?

• We also discuss the growing trend of NHL player agents being active on social media. Is it good for the game and player representation, or has it gone too far?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we discuss the Habs current roster and latest signing.

• With Kirby Dach signing a one-year deal, will the Canadiens give him one final opportunity to prove he can be the long-term 2C, or is he better suited for a third-line role?

• Samuel Montembeault is still in Montreal. Should he remain the backup while Jacob Fowler starts the season in Laval, or should the Canadiens keep both young goalies if no trade materializes?

• And finally, if the Canadiens don't acquire a top-six winger, can Zack Bolduc earn a spot on the second line? What could his next contract look like, and what is his long-term ceiling?

In this episode of GET PUCK'D, we break down the latest offseason developments surrounding the Montreal Canadiens.

• The Canadiens stood pat at the NHL Entry Draft, making no trades and using their first-round pick. Did Kent Hughes make the right call, or was it a missed opportunity?

• We also dive into the persistent rumors surrounding Kirill Marchenko. Reports suggest a massive trade could be on the table. What might a deal look like, what would Montreal have to give up, and would it be worth the price? Is he the answer?

(NOTE: This episode was recorded last night - June 8, 2026)

• We give our thoughts on the reported "failed" trade between the Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs involving Matthew Knies. How close was it, and what could have been?

• If Dylan Larkin expands his no-trade list and leaves Montreal off of it, should the Canadiens make a serious push to acquire him?

• Which players are most likely to earn a promotion from the AHL and crack Montreal’s opening-night roster?

• And finally, is Mason McTavish the ideal solution for the Canadiens' long-standing need at 2C?

• Does the Canadiens' run to the Eastern Conference Final change anything about the long-term vision of Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton?

• And finally, was signing Mike Matheson long-term a mistake?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we discuss the growing questions surrounding the Montreal Canadiens as they face elimination.

• Have this series — and the playoffs overall — changed your confidence in Martin St-Louis as the long-term coach of this team?

• With Montreal down 3-1, what’s the realistic path to victory from here?

• And if the series ends Friday, what will the overall feeling be around this season? Will fans look back positively at how far this team came — or focus on the disappointment of how it ended?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D,

• We also discuss our thoughts on Martin St-Louis and his coaching decisions throughout the playoffs so far.

• Looking ahead to Round 2 against the Carolina Hurricanes, are the Hurricanes in a better position because of the extended rest — or could the time off hurt their momentum?

• And finally, how do the Canadiens match up against Carolina? Montreal swept the season series, but does that actually matter once the playoffs begin?

In this episode of GET PUCK’D, we break down the first three games of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres.

• What does it say about Jakub Dobes seeing him get involved physically and chirp opposing players? Is it confidence, competitiveness, or exactly what this team needs?

• After three games against Buffalo, do any concerns still remain? Have the Sabres surprised you in any way — or failed to live up to expectations?

• And finally, we discuss the controversial moment at the end of Game 3 when Arber Xhekaj sucker-punched Sam Carrick during a scrum. Did Xhekaj get off easy with only a fine?
