With Kent Hughes adding a first round pick to Canadiens draft assets, who is next in line to be moved as the GM looks to turn the club into a contender?

Excerpt from 'Habs Hockey Report' of host Amy Johnson commenting on Arber Xhekaj's return to the NHL.

The big news of the week was Sean Monahan being moved to the Winnipeg Jets as Kent Hughes continued the renewal of the Canadiens roster. 

The All-Star break provides a convenient opportunity to evaluate the Canadiens and recognize the best performances so far this season.

It's also the perfect time to open Rocket Sports mailbag! We are always happy to hear from our Canadiens Connection listeners. The mailbag was jammed with questions and comments about Arber Xhekaj, the trade deadline, Patrick Roy and the next Canadiens Stanley Cup.

These fascinating topics are explored in this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.

In addition, we provide roster updates including Nicolas Beaudin and Lucas Condotta. 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.

Be sure to listen to these topics and more in the latest episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast. It's episode 281 of our sixth season. Click the link HERE or below in this post.
