What Montreal Canadiens should do in the Offseason

The Montreal Canadiens had a disastrous season, but they can turn it around in the offseason, and build to be better next season. These are the moves that I would make if I were GM of the Montreal Canadiens.



Before the 2022 Draft, a few trades are made


Montreal Canadiens trade Jeff Petry to the Carolina Hurricanes for Ethan Bear, Ryan Suzuki, 1st round pick '23.

The Hurricanes improve their defense with the addition of Jeff Petry, while the Canadiens get Ethan Bear, Ryan Suzuki, and a 1st round pick next year.


The Canadiens also trade Jonathan Drouin, and Mike Hoffman to the LA Kings for Gabriel Vilardi, Jaret Anderson Dolan, 2nd round pick '22.

The Kings get Jonathan Drouin and Mike Hoffman, two impact forwards, who will give an instant boost to the offense, while the Kings get two great prospects in Vilardi and Anderson-Dolan, as well as a 2nd round pick.


Paul Byron and Joel Edmundsson are traded to the Edmonton Oilers for Kailer Yamamoto, 3rd round pick '23. Montreal retains half of Joel Edmundson's contract for the remainder of the contract.

The Oilers add two veteran players with playoff experience to bolster their depth, while the Habs get Kailer Yamamoto and a 3rd round pick.



At the 2022 Draft, the Montreal Canadiens trade picks 51, 94, 161 to the Buffalo Sabres for pick 41.


2022 Draft

1-Shane Wright

29-Lian Bichsel

33-Ivan Miroshnichenko

41-Seamus Casey

51-Bryce Mcconnell-Barker

65-Gleb Trikozov

97-Jordan Dumais

120-Maxim Barbashev

122-Reese Laubach

129-Ludvig Jansson

193-Tyler Dunbar

217-Noah Greuter

Montreal drafts 8 forwards and 5 defensemen in the 2022 draft with the 13 picks that they have.


Montreal Canadiens re-sign a few players:

Alexander Romanov-2yrs/3.5M per

Kailer Yamamoto-3yrs/3M per

Ethan Bear-3yrs/2.75M per

Gabriel Vilardi-2yrs/1.5M per

Jaret Anderson Dolan-2yrs/1.2M per

Samuel Montembeault-1yrs/1M per

Kale Clague-2yrs/1M per

Michael Pezzetta-2yrs/750k per


Montreal Canadiens re-signed All Non-Roster RFAs


Montreal Canadiens sign the following Free Agents:

Zach Aston Reese-3yrs/2M per

Noel Acciari-1yr/2M 


This is how the Montreal Canadiens lineup looks like at the start of the 2022-23 season


2022-23 Montreal Canadiens




Jo.Anderson-N.Suzuki-C.Caufield

G.Vilardi-S.Wright-B.Gallagher

J-A.Dolan-C.Dvorak-K.Yamamoto

Z.Aston-Reese-J.Evans-N.Acciari

A.Romanov-D.Savard

K.Guhle-J.Barron

K.Clague-E.Bear

C.Price

J.Allen

Top Prospects:

F: I.Miroshnichenko, B.McConnell-Barker, J.Roy, G.Trikozov, J.Dumais, M.Barbashev, R.Laubach, N.Greuter

D: J.Harris, L.Bichsel, S.Casey, L.Jansson, T.Dunbar

G: C.Primeau


The Montreal Canadiens are taking a step in the right direction but are still far from being a contending team.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. St. Louis Blues

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
