Get PuckD Podcast: A Habs Podcast Get PuckD Podcast

In this episode, we discuss...



Just ahead of the 2023-24 NHL trade deadline, the Habs acquired the Jets' 1st round pick in exchange for Sean Monahan. We question and wonder what Kent Hughes will do with that pick. Will he trade it in a package for a top 6? Will he use it to move up in the draft? Will he make another Dach/Newhook type of trade? The NHL draft is around the corner, and it won't be long before a decision is made.



Question of the week: If you were Kent Hughes, what would you do with the 26th overall pick?

In this episode, we discuss...



Martin Necas, Patrick Laine and Brady Tkachuk.



The cost to acquire Martin Necas is going to be pretty high. What that cost is, we don't know. We question whether or not Necas should be the priority acquisition for the Canadiens this offseason or are there other options out there. Another name that has hit the rumor mill a little bit has been Patrick Laine, he has the talent and the goal scoring ability, but there are a lot of question marks around him, particularly his health. Brady Tkachuk's name has come up a few times over the last 2 years. The GM keeps squashing those rumors, but you know what they say, "Where there's smoke, there's fire."

Would we add the 5th overall in a trade package for Brady Tkachuk?



Would any one of these players be considered a big splash type of acquisition or is it not enough?



Question of the week

If not Necas or Laine, who would you want the Canadiens to target? (Reply in the comments)

In this episode, we discuss...



If General Manager Brad Treliving from the Toronto Maple Leafs were to call Kent Hughes and offer Mitch Marner for Cole Caufield and the 2024 1st (5th overall), would we do it? Would you do it?



If LA were to call Kent Hughes and offer Pierre-Luc Dubois with some retained cap, in a deal that would include Dvorak or Josh Anderson, should the Habs do it? Would we do it?



What could Slafkovsky's next contract look like? Should they open the bank right away or sign him to a "bridge" deal?

In this episode, we discuss...



The NHL playoffs. What is the most and least surprising result so far. The Leafs and Marner. Washington Capitals. Are the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets pretenders?



There are four major things to happen with the Habs this off-season (NHL lottery draft, NHL draft, trades and RFA and UFA signings). Of these four, which are the most exciting?



With Utah officially in the fold, does the off-season dynamic change? If so, how and in which way? The new owner spoke about making a big splash and being big spenders. All talk or is Utah going to be active the way Vegas has since entering the NHL?



An account on X - Denis Pettigrew (@DenisPMtl), recently tweeted an interesting trade scenario involving the Montreal Canadiens 5th overall pick in the 2024 draft (assuming they stay at 5) and San Jose's 4th overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft (Will Smith). Of all of the crazy trade proposals that we have seen on social media, this one was one of the most intriguing ones. While it this trade scenario is unlikely to happen, it is certainly thought inducing and one that piqued our interest enough to talk about it. Credit to him.



Would Dave and Matt like to see the Habs trade for Clayton Keller?

In this episode, we discuss...



The Habs' 2023-24 season is done. The Canadiens played their 82nd game VS the Detroit Red Wings and lost in the shootout. While their place in the standings is very similar to last year, it was certainly a season full of bright spots. Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, and Newhook all had career years. The goaltending situation has cleared up and the 3-goalie carousel ended. Lane Hutson and Logan Mailloux both played their first NHL games and produced. and so on. It wasn't all positive though, there were some bumps along the way, Josh Anderson had the worst season of his career, the injury bug hit early by taking Dach out during the second game of the season, Armia was waived and sent down to Laval, Xhekaj was sent down to Laval, Slaf struggled out of the gate. Yet, this was still a progressive season for the Montreal Canadiens. Martin St-Louis extended with the Canadiens for 2 years (3 seasons)

In this episode, we discuss...



This season, the Habs have accumulated a lot of points in the standings with their no quit, competitive play. With their most recent victory against the Stanley cup contending Colorado Avalanche. Given where the Habs are at in their rebuild, is it frustrating to see them win VS teams that they "should" lose to? Or are we happy with their compete and progression as a team?



Caufield's game is more well-rounded than it has been in previous seasons. It sems that his more well-rounded style of play is coming at the cost of scoring goals. At the start of the year, projections and expectations were that he would score 40-50 goals. He has not come close to those totals, but his overall game is a lot better, and he is playing at a 65 ppg pace. Were the expectations too high? Is this the best path for him? Is this a disappointing season for him?



Certain members of the media had put out an article with a headline suggesting that Reinbacher is a bust. A bust.... Seriously!? This article came out before his first game with the Laval Rocket and obviously before ever playing an NHL game (training camp excluded). After reading the article, the journalist does not actually state that he is a bust, but that he probably shouldn't have been selected 5th overall and ahead of certain players. We give our thoughts on the article, Reinbacher, his first pro games, and what some scouting pros have said about his game.
