These Are The Habs Biggest TRADE Assets!

The Montreal Canadiens have built one of the deepest prospect pools in the NHL, but if Kent Hughes wants to make a blockbuster move, who are the organization's most valuable trade chips? On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down the Canadiens' top trade assets and debate which prospects would command the biggest return around the league. Is Michael Hage untouchable? Has Jacob Fowler become the most valuable asset in the organization outside the NHL roster? What kind of upside does Alexander Zharovsky possess, and where does David Reinbacher rank after battling injuries? We examine each player's value, development path, NHL projection, and whether the Canadiens should consider moving any of them in a deal for immediate help. If Montreal is looking for a second-line center or another impact player, these are the names rival GMs will be asking about. 🔵 Is Michael Hage the Canadiens' most valuable prospect? ⚪ Should Jacob Fowler be considered untouchable? 🔴 How much value does David Reinbacher still carry? 🔵 Is Alexander Zharovsky the organization's biggest wildcard? #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Montembeault's Trade Value vs. Dobes' Potential | Habs Dilemma

The Montreal Canadiens have a major decision to make in goal — and it could shape the future of the franchise. On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down the Canadiens' goaltending situation heading into next season. Should the Habs continue to trust Sam Montembeault, or has the emergence of Jakub Dobes and top prospect Jacob Fowler changed the equation? We debate whether Montreal is better off carrying Montembeault and Dobes at the NHL level while allowing Fowler to continue his development with the Laval Rocket, or if the young phenom has done enough to earn a full-time role as the Canadiens' backup. We also discuss the risks of rushing Fowler, Montembeault's trade value, and what the long-term plan should be for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. Who gives the Canadiens the best chance to win now — and in the future? 🔵 Should Montembeault stay? ⚪ Is Dobes ready for a bigger role? 🔴 Should Jacob Fowler be in Montreal or Laval? #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Habs Have Some BIG DECISIONS Ahead!!

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.

This Habs TRADE TARGET Getting League Wide Interest!

Could the Montreal Canadiens pull off one of the biggest trades of the offseason? In this video, we take a deep dive into Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish and examine whether he could be a realistic trade target for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens. With reports of significant league-wide interest in the young power forward, could the Habs be among the teams exploring a blockbuster deal? We discuss why McTavish would be such an intriguing fit in Montreal, how he could help address the Canadiens' long-term need down the middle, and whether his age, skill set, and physical style make him an ideal addition to the team's young core. Most importantly, what would it actually cost the Canadiens to acquire him? Would Anaheim demand a top prospect, a first-round pick, or even an NHL roster player in return? We break down several potential trade scenarios and debate whether the price would be worth paying. Would you make a move for Mason McTavish if you were Kent Hughes?
