The Kraken have quite a few capable Cs with Wright, Beniers, Stephenson, Eyssimont, Hayden, Schwartz and as of recently Veleno…

You gotta think someone will be traded before/at the draft, no?

Beniers 2-way game could be a great fit and insulate Demidov

All right, I’ll give ‘er a spin.

My mock of the first round:

Could the @canadiens.com be tempted by elite playmaker Ben Kindel with one of their first round picks?

The diminutive center climbed most public boards this year with a stellar season. Here’s what he could bring to the table, via MTLhockeynow

A big winger with big upside!

Could Kent Hughes and Co. nab Lynden Lakovic at the 2025 NHL Entry Draft?

Here’s what he would bring to the @canadiens.com prospect pool.

Justin Carbonneau could be an interesting catch for the @canadiens.com in the first round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

And it has nothing to do with his last name.

Here’s what makes the talented winger an enticing draft target, via MTLhockeynow

Crosby here, Crosby there… He’s gonna be pricey (IF traded). But what if the 2C @canadiens.com get from the Pens is Malkin?

1 year left, 50pts in 68 GP last year. Short term solution enabling Demidov to integrate the NHL. LH shot…

Interested? What would you offer?

With a bit of luck, Carter Bear might be available to the @canadiens.com in the upcoming NHL draft.

So what does he bring? And should his injury scare the #GoHabsGo brass?

Granted MTL doesn’t have the “Win now help” a Rantanen would’ve provided the Stars… but if they were willing to part with Stankoven/Bourque, I’d love for Kent Hughes to see what’s the asking price.

Could be decent 2C solutions for the #gohabsgo playoff push and beyond

With the #gohabsgo flying high, how many pts do you think they secure over the weekend?

Fantastic breakdown of the #gohabsgo system and causes of their resurgence and success.

There are plenty of opinions as to what Slafkovsky needs to improve on… but does he really?

Marc Dumont provides great insight by confirming, or busting some of the myths put forth by #gohabsgo  fans.

A fantastic read

This #GoHabsGo defence looks suffocating

Habs look a little bit tired… or perhaps Stars are just too good…

Who will break the tie?

Fun #gohabsgo tilt after 20

Feels like we’re starting to see what this team could be made of, as several young players are cohesively hitting their stride.

With the top prospects not even yet in the picture (Demidov, Hage, Reinbacher, Fowler)…The end of the suffering is near

#gohabsgo  Dobes likely to face COL on a b2b game

I don’t dislike the “trial by fire” approach to Dobes’ @NHL career start

Some thrive in this environment - worst case, you “fail fast” and know where you stand

By the end of January we’ll know exactly what this team is made of.

Overall bad game for Josh Roy-don’t let the 1g 1a stat line fool you.

Beck:meh
Mesar:Invisible
Mailloux:Underwhelming + bad turnover
Xhekaj:lost fight badly- not much else

Just 1 game + I’m a casual Rocket viewer but looks like not much #GoHabsGo help coming from Laval

Mainly because of these 5 things he brings to the team 👇
