The Montreal Canadiens’ season is over, and the players have cleaned out their lockers and headed to their summer homes. There were no playoffs this season, as expected, but there was still plenty to be hopeful for.
This summer, David Perron will be as free as a bird. The 35-year-old veteran still has plenty to give to an NHL club, having racked up 47 points (17 goals) in 76 games this season with the Red Wings.
This summer, we can expect some changes at the Habs. Kent Hughes has made no secret of the fact: he wants to bring in an offensive player, and that’s just as well, because he has the elements to make a move.
Now that the Montreal Canadiens have completed their second complete rebuild season, it’s time to take a closer look at where the organization stands in terms of its long-term plans.
On Tuesday, May 7, we’ll find out where the Canadiens will be drafted next month. #Lottery #Draft Of course, in an ideal world for team executives, the hockey gods would reward the Habs with the chance to draft Macklin Celebrini.
Early May: we’re already trying to figure out what the Habs’ lineup will look like when they play their first game in October. Unfortunately, the team will look a lot like the one that finished the 2023-24 season(plus Kirby Dach, who will be healthy).
Last Thursday, the Chicago Blackhawks settled a big deal on their summer roster: the club reached an agreement with defenseman Alex Vlasic, who signed a six-year contract that will pay him $4.6 million per year.
Bogdan Konyushkov had a good second season in the KHL. He started the campaign with a bang offensively… But he calmed down afterwards, finishing the season with 28 points in 65 games.
With the Montreal Canadiens preparing to take the next step in their rebuild it’s important to keep a close eye on the teams that are already finding success in the NHL.
If the Montreal Canadiens are indeed aiming to be in the playoff mix for next season, they have quite the summer ahead of them. It may have been another 28th-place finish for the Canadiens this season, but the progress was notable; giving general manager Kent Hughes the necessary data he needs to make some big changes.
Carey Price was in the arena for the Canadiens’ final game of the season two weeks ago. He wasn’t often seen on TV, but on social networks, he was the talk of the town.
As a result, three out of five Canadiens fans hope to see their club aim for (and make) the playoffs next season. Hmm… does anyone really think the Habs will be playoff bound in 11 and a half months?

The Montreal Canadiens are in the midst of another long offseason after failing to advance to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive season.
Owen Beck’s season isn’t over yet. His club, the Saginaw Spirit, are 2-1 behind in the OHL semi-final series against the London Knights. The Saginaw team is already guaranteed a spot in the Memorial Cup, as host team of the competition.
Kaiden Guhle has never been known for his offensive talent. He’s mostly seen as a reliable defenseman in all three zones of the rink… And the good thing about him is that he shows up for every game.
The Montreal Canadiens are in need of elite skill and goal-scoring in the organization, and few players available in the 2024 NHL Draft fit the bill quite like Berkly Catton.
Just like a year ago, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes faces a quiet 2024 offseason, without having to re-sign any unrestricted free agents (UFAs) of note.
