No single position has changed as much as Montreal’s defence over the past year. Several newcomers were added in the NHL while they drafted four others last June. Despite that, a lot of work still needs to be done on the back end.
After two poor seasons to start his pro career, Jeremy Gregoire took some steps forward with Laval this past season. Is that enough to warrant a qualifying offer from the Habs this summer?
While it seemed like the Habs didn’t have any prospects to sign by the June 1st deadline, it turns out they did. When the league updated the reserve lists following the deadline, Casey Staum was taken off of Montreal’s, meaning he is no longer their property. Here’s why.
With the draft and free agency getting closer and closer, Marc Bergevin and his staff will be putting together their wish lists.

While there had been speculation that defenceman Rinat Valiev was going to the KHL next season, he has instead re-signed with the Habs on a one-year, two-way contract.
Daniel Carr had an up-and-down year. After clearing waivers, he worked his way back up to the big club and got off to a very strong start. Despite that, there is a chance that he doesn’t receive a qualifying offer next month.
The Habs added some depth to their prospect pool on Monday as they signed defencemen David Sklenicka and Michal Moravcik to entry-level deals.
Even though he wasn’t moved at the trade deadline, there seems to be a level of expectation that Max Pacioretty will soon be dealt. With that in mind, our writers offer up their thoughts on who Marc Bergevin should be targeting for trade talks.
The 2018 Memorial Cup took place from May 18th through the 27th in Regina and this year, the Habs had two prospects taking part though neither took home the title. Here is how each prospect performed.
After hiring Joel Bouchard as the new head coach in Laval last week, the Rocket now has one of their assistant coaches in place as Daniel Jacob joined the team on Wednesday.
