Since the start of the season, we’ve all been ecstatic about Lane Hutson’s performance. The Montreal Canadiens’ defenseman is nothing short of impressive, having reached a whole new level this season.
Today, Team Canada’s roster for the upcoming Olympics was unveiled. Nick Suzuki is the only Habs player who will represent Canada. Yet François Gagnon had Mike Matheson in his line-up.
How many of the Maurice Richard trophy winners since the award was first given out in 1998-99 can you name in five minutes?

This lunchtime, we learned the identity of the 25 players who will be part of Canada’s squad for the next Olympics. One of them, Nick Suzuki, has won his bet… and could be used for anything in Italy.
You’ll have to explain to me how the Habs can go from a team that’s constantly outshot by its opponents and washed out five times in front of its fans in the space of a month… To a team with a string of comebacks that hasn’t lost in regulation time in its last six games.
Right now, when you talk about the Montreal Canadiens’ defence, it pretty much comes back to three guys: Lane Hutson, Noah Dobson, and Mike Matheson. They couldn’t be more different in how they go about it.

In an era where rosters are shaped by cap math, winning franchises rely less on outspending and more on culture. Because teams cannot simply outspend one another, success hinges on extracting maximum competitive value from limited cap space.
When the 2024-25 season came to an end, the Montreal Canadiens had several specific needs that needed to be addressed.

The Montreal Canadiens’ acquisition of defenseman Noah Dobson has already begun to reshape the franchise’s roster, depth chart, and long-term salary structure.
The Montreal Canadiens acquired Noah Dobson in a trade with the New York Islanders and agreed to sign the top-pair defenseman to an eight-year, $76 million contract extension, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
