This Week’s Show

Segment 1: Week in Review, Habs News, League News

  • The Canadiens avoided arbitration with their two highest profile RFA’s, Arturri Lehkonen and Joel Armia. Rick and Joe discuss their contracts and how Marc Bergevin did.

  • The guys look at what is being speculated on social media about this offer sheet, in comparison to how it is actually being perceived throughout the league. 

Segment 3: Have Your Say
