This Week’s Show: CC Season 3 Opener

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

  • The Laval Rocket made a pair of signings this week, signing defenceman Corey Schueneman and forward Samuel Vigneault to one-year AHL contracts for the 2020-21 season.
  • The Canadiens have reached out to projected #1 overall pick, Alexis Lafrenière, after Phase 1 of the NHL Draft Lottery revealed the Canadiens have an opportunity to win the first overall pick and select Lafrenière.
  • This past Monday marked four years since the Canadiens and Predators swapped P.K. Subban and Shea Weber.
  • Mike Ribeiro gave his thoughts on the Subban-Weber trade, while also saying he would like to get into coaching.
  • We heard from Canadiens’ coach Claude Julien this week and he gave his thoughts on the return to play and more.
  • Marc Bergevin also spoke this week, in an interview with RDS.
  • Impact of Coronavirus: Edmonton and Toronto will be announced as Hub cities. NHL/NHLPA continue to discuss CBA extension, escrow, salary deferral and cap. NHL will return to Olympics in 2022 and 2026. No compliance buyouts. The St. Louis Blues close training camp due to positive tests. The Toronto Blue Jays return to Canada.

Segment 2: The Big Topic – 2020 NHL Mock Draft

  • With Phase 1 of the Draft Lottery in the books, and the shock of a placeholder team winning the No. 1 overall pick having faded a little bit, Rick and Joe give their thoughts on how they see the Top 10 picks playing out in the 2020 NHL Draft. They also take a look at who the Canadiens might pick if they do not win the first overall pick and the right to draft Alexis Lafrenière. Who might be a nice consolation prize for the Montreal Canadiens?

This Week’s Show

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

  • The Hockey Hall of Fame announced the inductees of 2020. Getting the call this year was Marian Hossa, Jarome Iginla, Kevin Lowe, Kim St. Pierre, Doug Wilson and Ken Holland. The guys ask: Who got snubbed this year?
  • Arpon Basu reported that Jesperi Kotkaniemi will be travelling to attend the Canadiens’ training camp and that he is “coming as a player who is available to play”. Adding some more intrigue to the Canadiens potential return to play. 
  • Carey Price won the Molson Cup for the 2019-2020 season, picking up the award for the 9th time. Price also spoke to the media via conference call this week, touching his desire to play but also voicing concerns over health and safety. 
  • Impact of Coronavirus. An update on Hub cities in consideration, the NHL/NHLPA discussing a CBA extension, Artemi Panarin and Ryan Kesler shared their thoughts on the CBA & escrow, more positive tests for the coronavirus and the MLB announces they will play a 60 game season. 

Segment 2: The Big Topic – NHL Draft Lottery

  • Phase 1 of the NHL Draft Lottery went last night and it did not take long to grab the attention of the hockey world. It was determined that a mystery team will be selecting first overall in the NHL Entry Draft. Not the historically bad Detroit Red Wings, or the Ottawa Senators with two first round picks, but a placeholder team that will be determined following the qualification round in Phase 2 of the lottery. 
  • What does this mean for the Montreal Canadiens? After taking a look at SBD’s betting news section, things are not looking pretty for the Canadiens as recent analysis gave them just a 36 percent chance to move past the Penguins in the qualifying round. So will Habs fans be supporting a ‘tank movement’ to have an opportunity to select Alexis Lafreniere?

Segment 3: Have Your Say
