Montreal Canadiens’ Plans for a Perfect 2024 Offseason
April 17, 2024 by Trege Wilson
With no playoffs in sight, the Montreal Canadiens’ season is almost over. But since October, they have taken steps in the right direction on both a team level and with the individual development of top players. They already surpassed last season’s total of 68 points, plus star players Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Mike Matheson, and 2022 first-overall draft pick Juraj Slafkovsky have all had career years. Now that the season is ending, Canadiens general manager (GM) Kent Hughes needs to determine where the Habs are in the rebuild and his offseason game plan to take the next step.

The playoffs may not have been a realistic goal for the Montreal Canadiens in 2023-24. However, fans still had certain expectations heading into the season, for what was likely still going to be a losing team. For the most part, the Habs met and even exceeded them, even if they can finish in the same spot in the standings two years in a row.

Canadiens Prospect Logan Mailloux to Make NHL Debut
April 16, 2024 by Luc LeBlanc
In the summer of 2021, former Montreal Canadiens general manager (GM) Marc Bergevin used what would be his final first-round selection with the team to draft defenceman Logan Mailloux 31st overall. After a tumultuous three seasons since, the beginning of which Mailloux played a limited amount of games due to various off-ice factors, the Ontario native finds himself up with the big club after an incredibly successful inaugural season in professional hockey with the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Laval Rocket.
