Is Kirill Marchenko a player worth trading several valuable assets for if you are the Canadiens? I took an in-depth scouting look at KM and wrote a scouting report along with notable clips from one of the games www.patreon.com/TheHabscast/...
What would it take to land Marchenko? Rick and I discussed the possible return Columbus would want from Montreal if a deal for Kirill Marchenko was ever seriously discussed. #Habs #MontrealCanadiens #GoHabsGo Full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctpR...
Great to have @rickspringhetti.bsky.social back on HabsCast today as we delved into the rumours surrounding Marchenko and the Habs. I thought this was his best point during the podcast. Would you agree, Rick? Full podcast here: youtube.com/live/ctpRSgs...
Watching @mccagg.bsky.social Habcast this morning made some sense in the Marchenko issue. CBJ are deep on LHD, and have a need at FWD and RHD. Not looking for picks; they want active players to put in their roster now. As such, could take 2 roster players and a prospect to land Marchenko.....
Who would the Canadiens need to give up to acquire Marchenko? Rick And Grant discuss the rumour and weigh in on the rosters announced for the U-20 Summer Showcase. Live HabsCast at 9 AM Sunday. youtube.com/live/ctpRSgs...
Marchenko to Montreal? Join @rickspringhetti.bsky.social and me live tomorrow for Summer Brunch on HabsCast at 9 AM. #GoHabsGo www.youtube.com/@habscast/
Two defencemen drafted in the top five in the past 30 years haven't played a minimum of five NHL games before the age of 20 - one of them is Habs pick David Reinbacher. It is time to give him a spot. Full podcast here: youtube.com/live/s7bQFL4...
🚨🎙️Free Reinbacher! 🎙️🚨 I studied the tape and explain why he is more than ready. Who are the top Habs players since the turn of the Century? Leave your comments below or in the live chat on YouTube, starting at 7 PM. #GoHabsGo youtube.com/live/s7bQFL4...

🚨Kapanen and Newhook on the second line?🚨 There are revealing stats that demonstrate why Kent Hughes may think that Newhook and Kapanen are more than capable on the second line with Demidov. Join me live at 7 PM as I crunch the numbers. #GoHabsGo youtube.com/live/2AYqSEL...

Habs happenings today: Derek Lalonde named associate coach. Jared Davidson and Hunter McKown signed one-year, two-way contracts.
Messi was just within 30 feet of his goalkeeper. That had to feel strange.
Here is hoping that the actual game is 100 times better than the "opening ceremonies".
🚨🎙️Tyler Thorpe or Logan Sawyer?🎙️🚨 I dive into the Habs prospect pool to compare these forwards head-to-head. Tonight’s debate: Who actually fits the future #Habs roster better? Share your thoughts in the Live Chat at 7 PM! youtube.com/live/M93E41t...
