Episode 922 - Montreal Canadiens mailbag: shoul...
On today's Montreal Canadiens mailbag episode, we start the episode answering a couple of mailbag questions about the possibility of targeting Anaheim Ducks star forward Trevor Zegras, either with a trade or with an offer sheet. Turning our attention to Habs defensemen, we talk about whether the Habs should consider playing Lane Hutson or Logan Mailloux at forward and whether David Reinbacher will remain with the Habs to start the season. We also discuss Paul Byron's potential tribute from the Habs, and his true greatest moment. All that and more are in this week's Habs mailbag.
