Descripción

The Montreal Canadiens have several important contract decisions to make this offseason, and some of them could have a major impact on the future of the organization. In this video, we break down the Canadiens' restricted free agent situation and debate what Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton should do with some of the team's most intriguing players. 🔹 Is the jury still out on Kirby Dach? After another injury-filled season, does Dach remain part of the Canadiens' long-term plans, or could Montreal explore trading him? What value would he have around the league, and would a sign-and-trade scenario make sense? 🔹 What should the Canadiens do with Arber Xhekaj? His toughness, physicality, and fan-favorite status are undeniable, but can he establish himself as an everyday NHL defenseman on a contending team? 🔹 Is Joe Veleno's time in Montreal already coming to an end, or is there still a role for him moving forward? 🔹 And what about Zach Bolduc? Following an impressive season, what should his next contract look like? We discuss potential term, salary, and whether the Canadiens should lock him up long-term or take a shorter bridge-deal approach. Join us as we analyze the Canadiens' biggest RFA questions and what they could mean for the future of the franchise. 🔔 Subscribe for daily Montreal Canadiens news, trade rumors, prospect analysis, and live discussions. #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

BREAKING! Habs TRADE Brendan Gallagher!

The Montreal Canadiens have officially traded longtime fan favourite Brendan Gallagher to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for future considerations while retaining 50% of his remaining salary. On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, Shaun Starr and Marco D'Amico break down one of the biggest emotional moves of the Canadiens' offseason. Was this the right decision for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton? How much salary cap flexibility does this create for Montreal moving forward? Does retaining salary make sense, and what could the Canadiens now pursue with the additional cap space? We also take a look back at Gallagher's incredible career in Montreal. From his relentless style of play and leadership to becoming one of the organization's most beloved players, Gallagher leaves behind a lasting legacy after years of giving everything he had to the Canadiens. Finally, we discuss whether Gallagher still has enough left in the tank to make an impact with the Vancouver Canucks. Can he reinvent his game in a new environment and help Vancouver contend?

The NHL trade market is heating up, and we're breaking down the biggest stories around the league on today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show! We react to reports that Jason Robertson turned down a potential move involving the Seattle Kraken and what it means for Dallas moving forward.

We discuss what a trade package might look like and why adding Marchenko could take the Canadiens to another level. Plus, with the NHL Draft just around the corner, we preview what to expect, discuss possible surprises, and look at what Montreal could have up its sleeve. 🔥 Topics include: Jason Robertson and the Seattle speculation Could Dallas still move Robertson?
