The Canadiens will require young elite talent and experienced veterans to become a perennial contender. What does their championship window look like?
During the Montreal Canadiens rebuild, it's natural to carefully follow young players who will be part of the core for the foreseeable future, and the top prospects who are in the pipeline. But a perennial contender will also require key veterans to complement the talent of the elite core.
What will the makeup of the team look like and what are the odds of the Canadiens winning a Stanley Cup in the next five years?
It's a fascinating topic that provides the focus for this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.
In addition, we provide roster updates including Justin Barron and Arber Xhekaj. And we outline the week that was for Habs prospects. We conclude the show with comments, texts, and emails from you, our loyal Canadiens Connection listeners.
