Montreal Canadiens Should Target Nashville Predators’ Center

1 week ago | si.com | Tyler Major-Mcnicol

Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes’ eyes must be like toonies watching Team Canada’s center core power them past opponents. Nick Suzuki and the Canadiens’ cast of centers came up short in their first-round Stanley Cup playoff matchup against the regular-season juggernaut Washington Capitals. It isn’t meant to discredit the teams’ center situation, but after Suzuki, there is a gaping hole down the middle on the second line.

Cayden Primeau's 2024-25 season was one that lacked no ups and downs, but the 2017 seventh-round selection pulled up his socks and got to work. Pascal Vincent has had little choice but to give Primeau the lion's share of the starts between the pipes for the Rocket, given that each time it tends to turn to gold. Why fix what isn't broken, right?

Could Martin St. Louis Pry Steven Stamkos Out Of Nashville?

Back in the day, Martin St. Louis was a mentor to young phenom Steven Stamkos, helping shape the star into a superstar. Marty eventually departed the Tampa Bay Lightning organization and played briefly for the New York Rangers before retiring, while Stamkos became the heart and soul of the Bolts' attack and dressing room. They became the nearest thing to a dynasty that anybody has seen since the 1980s, and Stamkos proudly wore the 'C' on his sweater.

Two Dogs the Canadiens Should Draft

2 weeks ago | yardbarker.com | Tyler Major-Mcnicol

Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes has an embarrassment of draft capital for June's annual NHL Draft. With the 16th and 17th overall selections in his pocket, the Canadiens have two big shots at adding high-level talent on the draft floor. If things go right, Hughes should have two more bona fide top-six forwards or top-four defenseman to the fold, one of each, if not two of the same.

Jonathan Toews has been away from the game dealing with health issues, but the 37-year-old is ready to become a Free Agent on July 1st.

Now, the Winnipeg, Manitoba native is ready for his NHL return, and wise general managers will put their bids in early, perhaps even opting to contact Toews directly.
NHL GMs Shouldn't Count Out Carter Bear

Carter Bear is a prototypical 200-foot player with a high motor and never stops moving his feet, and in his draft class, he is the best at it. Think Travis Konecny/Matthew Tkachuk-hybrid when you think of the six-foot, 176-pound left-shot centre/winger. Bear had a fantastic season, that could have been so much better, if not for an Achilles injury suffered just a stone's throw away from the Western Hockey League playoffs.
Nathan MacKinnon: Young Sharks Center Has Olympic Potential

Macklin Celebrini had an impressive Calder Trophy run in his rookie season after being selected first overall at the 2024 NHL Draft. Celebrini is one of three finalists for the NHL's top rookie award, alongside Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson and Calgary Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf. All that the 18-year-old Vancouver, British Columbia native did was score 63 points (25-38-63) in 70 NHL regular season games, all while being a 200-foot wizard for one of the league's worst teams.
