This prospect could be a difference maker for Laval in the AHL playoffs. I had a look at him today, and I am REALLY impressed. Join me for a LIVE HABSCAST at 8 pm tonight. #Habs

I don't think the Habs necessarily need high-end pieces to compete for the East. Fortifications at RD and in the bottom six that include size, grit, and veteran leadership. I also think they can fill those needs without trading any of the top-five prospects. The exception would be a Thomas.
01.03.2026 22:53 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0They stood a chance if they had traded for a number-one center, but when all you can dangle is Hudon and you are short on picks....not happening. Toronto/Pitt made deals the last few years for rentals despite having few picks/prospects. The Habs are in a different position right now.
01.03.2026 22:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Pretty sure the "plan" is similar to Gorton's plan in New York. "Rebuild" for three years, then strike when the assets are built up and the team is in contention. That is now.
01.03.2026 22:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There were teams in the last 20 years that finished first in the division actually, but they lacked extra assets. Right now, there are coveted prospects like Engstrom who may never be top-four defenders or top-6 forwards on the team. Make a smart deal or two when the timing is perfect/value is high
01.03.2026 22:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0When I say go for it, I am not talking about trading a Grade A prospect for a rental. If they end up getting a significant piece, it will be someone like Thomas, who can be part of the contender's window over the next 5-7 years. Habs are in a unique position, being contenders & having the assets.

WILL PICKFORD BE A TOP FIVE PROSPECT ON HABS?
Grant McCagg and Rick Springhetti present their weekly Habs Prospect of the Week and NHL Draft Prospect of the Week. Can Pickford overtake Reinbacher on the depth chart?

Name me a Habs team in the past 20 years that really went for it. They haven't been serious buyers at the deadline for decades.
01.03.2026 19:48 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0This is the thing. The Habs are not in the position of a Leafs team or a host of others in the past who had very little U24 talent or desired prospects and all of their picks. The Habs have TOO many prospects in the system. They won't all play. Not saying trade Hage/Fowler/Bacher...don't have to.

Actually, the Habs were 16th in the 2021 playoffs, and made the final. The point remains - it is time to "Go for it." Kent - get on the phone.

This should be an interesting discussion. Volokhin has put up some great numbers against some albeit inferior competition. I'm going to have a listen to what the scouts have to say. #Habs
