Have a look at all the latest Montreal Canadiens news, highlights, and stories you may have missed during the weekend.

  • Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman brought up an interesting trade scenario involving Montreal Canadiens veteran Sean Monahan. He suggested the New York Rangers should be interested in the centre, especially now that they have lost Filip Chytil for the entire season. But would a trade make sense?

  • The Montreal Canadiens need to add more prospects to the mix who possess natural scoring talent, an organizational weakness that general manager Kent Hughes has surely noticed. Aside from Cole Caufield, the club lacks players with elite goal-scoring abilities. Considering that four of the top 10 prospects are defencemen gives merit to the idea that high-potential forwards could potentially slip down the draft board.

  • Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki continues to work with the Asista Foundation, which provides support for people going through mental health struggles as well as shelter dogs.

  • Defenceman Arber Xhekaj turned 23 yesterday. Regardless of where he ends up in the organization, he can claim to be the only defenceman in hockey history to go undrafted from the CHL and then jump directly into an NHL lineup, a rather impressive feat.

  • Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman David Jiricek was sixth overall during Slafkovsky’s draft season. He’s playing in the NHL but is not happy with his lack of powerplay usage with the Blue Jackets.
