Now that American Thanksgiving has passed, will Kent Hughes become an aggressive seller, when can fans expect that to begin, and will a goalie be traded?
The Montreal Canadiens were out of a playoff spot on American Thanksgiving, considered a benchmark for projecting playoff status. They had earned 18 points with a record of 8-9-2. What should this mean for the direction of the rest of the season?
Will general manager Kent Hughes become an aggressive seller and when can fans expect that to begin? Will a goalie trade be the first domino to fall?
This is the focus of this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.
In addition, we provide injury updates on Jordan Harris, Rafael Harvey-Pinard 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.
