Episode 875 - The Montreal Canadiens trade for Alex Newhook, what is their plan for the NHL Draft now?

Inside today's episode

In the midst of a chaotic day in the NHL, and the day before the NHL Draft the Montreal Canadiens stunned everyone by making a trade for former first round pick Alex Newhook. Paying a seemingly big price of the 31st, and 37th overall picks, in addition to defenceman Gianni Fairbrother, the Habs landed a young forward with room to grow in Montreal. The hosts discuss the trade and whether or not it's worth the price the Canadiens paid.

And now, with two draft picks gone from their back pockets, what are the Montreal Canadiens exactly up to at the NHL Draft? Scott thinks the team is going to be locked into trading down to recoup a pick along the way, meaning the dreams of Matvei Michkov might be at an end.

Finally, the Pierre-Luc Dubois saga is over, with the disgruntled forward leaving Winnipeg for Los Angeles. The hosts look at the trade package that finally saw this long running drama come to an end and why the Canadiens could never match what the Kings offered. Or, would it even have been worthwhile to offer as much as they did while in the midst of a rebuild.
