Which Canadian team has been most surprising in offseason so far?
TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts on some of the significant moves made by Canadian teams early in the NHL offseason, which team has surprised him the most, and more.
Well goes without saying Toronto made the dummist move ever ,Brad can only do what Brad knows ,came from calgary and already totaly destroyed the leafs . 57leaffan RDoan
Oilers regressing while Panthers brought back their main guys like bennett marchand and ekblad. Oilers got to learn a thing or 2 from panthers, panthers 3peat.
Habs realised that they can't rebuild with only rookies on defence is a plus. I don't like that we traded 2 first round picks for Dobson but it is what it is.
What if Treliving did not get to make a splash in free agency becayse Toronto has become a Team top talent players do not want to go to? Seems like they were not on any star players list from the reporting that crossed my screen. This would mean the only way to get talent in there is via trade assuming the player in question does not have a no trade clause or limited no trade clause. Poetentially the hole left by Marner will not get filled with a legit top 6 forward. It is not like the Leafs are swimming in prospects. Does not look good.
Why would the flames want to get rid of Kadri? Easy. Draft capital, makes the team worse now so they can get better long term. Flames need a good pick in 25/26..
Canucks with injuries throughout the season and unable to ice a full lineup at any point last year….
Unanimous agreement that the turmoil in the locker room was a massive distraction… so much so, a top line C was traded leaving a huge gap in the middle.
However, the Canucks still ended up with 90+ points and almost made the playoffs. WITH the same group of players they re-signed
My money is on the Canucks to do much better this year than last
TSN….Note When ALBERTA Is A New Country–Territory—State ? FREE AGENTS WILL WANT TO SIGN IN EDMONTON & CALGARY ? NO GST–DOLLAR PAR WITH USA–NO INCOME TAX WITHIN 5-YEARS ? HUGH SELLING POINTS ?

Forgetting about Winnipeg yet again. 🙄

Vancouver fans do not want rebuilds, we are satisfied with forever mediocre with no Cups in the future, ever!
Why no mention of Winnipeg? Typical.
I'm happy for the habs
Stop shouting at me Marty!
Canadiens
Kirby Dach "could be healthy". Good hypothetical Marty.
No Harvey's damn….best pies ever
Canucks need a 2C other than that there are minimal holes in the team
I think its safe to say the habs have made the biggest moves so far but its early in the off season still
Odd thoughts on Biron, "gonna lose demko gonna lose garland" both players were not UFAs yet – they still had one year deals.
The Canucks did the tidiest work
The most surprising; the Montreal Canadiens.

“Edmonton Orlers”

Vancouver finishing 6th in the division ✅

Don’t expect any of these teams win a cup next year
