Specifically, we discuss what the Habs might be looking for on the trade market now that they have turned themselves into sellers. In our second segment, we talk about the Four Nations Faceoff and ponder how it could become more compelling.

I agree with you, Laura, about the "hockey trade" term. It's so silly. Even if you want to dump a salary it's almost always to benefit the "hockey" team on the ice. You want cap space so you trade a player. Was Monahan and a first for future considerations a "hockey trade"? Obviously.
Unless I see Zegras find a better, more responsible, game, I consider Zegras a similar player in style to Hoffman.
Just because people have talked about the possibility of a trade, doesn't mean it is likely to happen.
10-9 hockey sounds low key boring…Defensive play and battles are entertaining and a essential part of the game
As a Finn seeing national team is so much more interesting and fun then NHL hockey. If they would have the tournament in Europe it would be sold out.
Trivia answers: Sean Farrell
Zegras would be a disaster,a small soft forward
Rarely disagree with Ian but I drove my commute this morning shouting no no no Ian for 20 minutes! The absolute last thing this team needs is Zegras, another soft show pony who cannot play a 200ft game. We have so many forwards like that or big players that play soft. Please no.Then you said you're not worried about the way they play defence but how they generate offence. Totally the opposite for me, when this team had a spell when they remembered how to defend they generated offence, not the other way around. Dach and Newhook became a lot more effective when the team remembers to protect the net. Lastly Laine, I don't think he's become the lightning rod for criticism, Slaf is getting piled on, Newhook, Dach they wanted chased out of the city. Armia/Anderson hate last year was much worse than anything Laine gets. Suzuki get's criticism in waves. I just do not think fans of teams like seeing big bodies play with so little engagement. No one get's more than Magic Mike! Look at Hutson, not a peep that he's not entering well or providing much of the PP where as Mike would be dodging bullets right now if he was performing the same on PP1. I still think we need 3 more solid D in the organisation and then we will be fine and the offence will come.
31:44 I'd like to send in a mailbag question based on this one. What's a player you'll look back on from this era of the Habs in this way? Who's your 2022-2025 Mike Reilly?
