Jack Adams: Martin St-Louis isn’t even among the seven favorites (and that’s ridiculous)
Martin St-Louis was a finalist for the Jack Adams Trophy at the end of last season. He took his club to the playoffs when it wasn’t really expected, and his work was lauded even if he didn’t go home with the trophy awarded to the NHL’s best coach of the year.

Oliver Kapanen can 'without a doubt' be the second center of the future, according to Kent Hughes
Currently, the second line is led by Oliver Kapanen. Let’s face it, no one (except Grant McCagg) had anticipated such a scenario this summer. The guy really gets the job done with Ivan Demidov and Juraj Slafkovsky at his side.

Canadiens End Strong First Half of 2025-26 with Room to Grow
