When Chris Kreider’s signing derailed Toronto’s plans

Originally posted on Dose.ca | Last updated Sep 14, 2026 11:36 PM ET

Chris Kreider's signing with the Montreal Canadiens has caused quite a stir—and not just in Montreal.

All across the NHL, people are talking about this signing—a real steal for a young, already-strong team that was lacking a bit of experience on its roster.

In Toronto, people are already “freaking out” over this signing.

Sid Seixeiro of Sick Media in Toronto weighed in on the topic, and his very intense reaction makes it clear that the Habs have made a great acquisition.

“The Canadiens are building a supercomputer to take over the world, and you're going to sign Jack Roslovic. You've got to stop them before it's too late.” – Sid Seixeiro

The Montreal Canadiens just picked up a top-6 forward, and it cost them $2 million against this year's cap.

Be sure to watch the full video with Seixeiro's reaction—it's worth it.

Seixeiro wants the Habs to act before it's too late and sign Dylan Larkin as their second-line center.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Habs went after Larkin at this stage, but you never know with Kent Hughes.

Seixeiro really goes off the rails when he mentions that the Habs are so close to winning the Stanley Cup. He points out that the core of the team is signed for $9.5 million a year or less, and that's for several seasons.

According to Seixeiro, all it takes is one major addition for the Habs to win the Cup within the next four years.

He even let out a “Sacrebleu!”

For all the other NHL teams, there's certainly reason to fear the Habs in the coming years.

Not only did the team reach the conference finals last spring, but it's also very young—some players will get even better, and some prospects aren't even with the organization yet.

Which third-line center would you like to see in Montreal?

Quick Fire Questions

– Exactly.

Alex Ovechkin is supporting the war in Ukraine by participating in a video like this.

He has the right to do so. It's his choice.

We just need to stop saying he no longer supports Vladimir Putin because the facts show otherwise. https://t.co/KE1MPKlETz

Another great IMFC Radio show this week (with @GavinoDe_Falco). #CFMTL #OurTurn https://t.co/ryfSFKlRD5

We're talking about the Olympic Stadium, Alexis Sanchez's short-term future, the lack of “grinta” on the field, and how crucial the next few hours are for Quebec soccer…
