The Montreal Canadiens were very quiet at the NHL trade deadline, but the rebuild continues to plug along. We have a belated mailbag episode today in which we discuss next steps - we have lots of questions about the draft and offseason moves the Habs could make. Should they package picks in order to get out of the Brendan Gallagher contract? Do we see them picking Matvei Michkov even though they have indicated that is not a direction they want to go in? And more.

Scott recaps the weekend games against Anaheim and Vegas, plus the Habs injury crisis continues.

It was an extremely quiet day for the Montreal Canadiens at the Trade Deadline as expected, Scott has your recap of the proceedings and what's next!

Laura shares her thoughts on what a couple of other teams are doing and why Habs fans may have it better than they think, relatively speaking, when it comes to the longterm future of this team.

The Montreal Canadiens win a game against the equally woeful San Jose Sharks and we team up with Locked On Sharks to recap the game. JD Young and Laura discuss the debuts of their respective teams' newest acquisitions. How did Denis Gurianov look? How was Kaiden Guhle's return after his injury? Plus we talk about the most amusing aspects of the latest NHL trades as we head closer to the trade deadline.

At this point in the season, Montreal Canadiens fans are feeling somewhat concerned about the Habs' rebuild, so we get together with the host of The Build podcast, Ian Boisvert, for a quick reality check. Why does it feel like it's going to take so long? What are our biggest reasons for concern? And why should we have hope? All that and more on today's episode.

Despite rumblings that the Montreal Canadiens were expected to be quiet this NHL Trade Deadline, Kent Hughes went ahead and traded Evgenii Dadonov to the Dallas Stars for Denis Gurianov.

We talk about injuries, the Ottawa Senators, Kent Hughes, Nick Suzuki, and Mike Matheson.

Scott and Laura analyze the rumors of a quiet deadline in Montreal, plus the weekly Three Up, Three Down!

The Montreal Canadiens lost to the Carolina Hurricanes, but Rafael Harvey-Pinard was one of the bright spots in the game. Can he become a legitimate top six forward in the NHL?

We talk about how Jonathan Drouin, Joel Armia, and Evgenii Dadonov have been playing particularly well in the last few games. We also talk about Arber Xhekaj's injury and what the Canadiens will need to do without him on the blueline. Finally, we talk about Josh Anderson and Michael Pezzetta's fights in the game.

Scott and Laura recap the Habs wild weekend before diving into the Three Up, Three Down of the week!

Finally, we have only a 3 Up this week, in which we discuss the impressive play of Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson, and Rafael Harvey-Pinard.

It's an All-Star weekend edition of the Friday Mailbag!

The NHL All Star break is as good a time as any to give the Montreal Canadiens of this season some player grades. Due to the number of Habs injuries, we are grading them all only on games played, and because it is a rebuild year and some have been over-deployed while others have been under-utilized, we thought it best to grade them on a curve.

The Habs lost a battle at the bottom of the Atlantic, but an AHL call-up continues to give fans a reason to cheer once again.
