February wasn’t a great month for the Habs and it wasn’t much better for most of their prospects. A handful of players stood out among the rest and are featured in our February 3 Stars.

The road continues to be unkind to the Habs who only managed to be remotely competitive in one of their three games. On the flip side, Laval was at home this past week but wasn’t able to accomplish much either, collecting just a single win in their three contests.
The Habs locked up a pair of prospects on Wednesday, signing OHL forwards Will Bitten and Michael Pezzetta to three-year, entry-level contracts. Both deals will begin next season.
Deadline day was a quiet one for the Habs who made a pair of small moves while keeping Max Pacioretty in the fold. Did they do enough? Did they make the right call by not trading Pacioretty? Our writers offer up their thoughts.
With the games all but meaningless now, the Habs have started to rack up the points, collecting a pair of wins and extra time losses over the week. The same can’t be said for Laval as their depleted roster picked up a win but dropped their two other contests in regulation.
The trade that saw Tomas Plekanec get sent to Toronto has resulted in some mixed emotions as the veteran heads to the other side of the rivalry. Despite that, did the Habs make a good trade? Our writers offer up their thoughts.
The Habs have shaken up their blueline, sending Joe Morrow to Winnipeg for a 2018 fourth-round pick while acquiring Mike Reilly from Minnesota for a 2019 fifth-rounder.
Tomas Plekanec’s time with the Habs has come to an end. Montreal shipped him along with minor league winger Kyle Baun to Toronto on Sunday morning in exchange for Toronto’s second-round pick in 2018, prospect blueliner Rinav Valiev, and winger Kerby Rychel.
The final instalment of our 2018 Trade Odds series takes a closer look at Montreal’s forwards. While some notables have been tossed out in speculation, what is the likelihood that they actually will be dealt?
Next up in our 2018 Trade Odds series is Montreal’s goaltending and defence, spots where we could see some changes made before the February 26th trade deadline.
