Final Habs Roster Should Be Pretty Obvious…



Montreal Canadiens finish 2025-2026 pre-season with 4-2 record after 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Who will make the final cut for the Canadiens?

  1. Blais was really good ! I hope he clears waivers. Beck has a future with us I believe but he will have a lot of ice time in Laval. Injuries will happen and we have depth. Why didn't WE sign Lars Eller ?

  2. Suzuki, Hage, Xhekaj, Evans down he middle in the future.

    I think the line that sat tonight, Newhook, Kapanen, Demidov is your 2nd line

    I think my line up looks like:

    Caufield Suzuki Slaf
    Newhook Kapanen Demidov
    Bolduc Dach Laine
    Anderson Evans Gallagher

    Guhle Dobson
    Matheson Hutson
    Xhekaj Carrier
    (possibly swap Dobson & Hutson)

    PP1 Caufield, Suzuki, Slaf, Bolduc, Hutson
    PP2 Laine, Dach, Demidov, Gallagher, Dobson
    PK1 Evans, Anderson, Matheson, Guhle
    PK2 Kapanen, Newhook, Xhekaj, Carrier

  3. Caufield – Suzuki – Slafkovsky
    Bolduc – Dach – Laine
    Newhook – Kapanan – Demidov
    Anderson – Evans – Gallagher
    Veleno

    Guhle – Dobson
    Hutson – Struble
    Matheson – Carrier
    Xhekaj – Engstrom

    Montembault
    Kahkonen

    Dobes and Fowler will split in Laval

  4. Caufield – Suzuki – Slaf
    Demidov – Kapanen – Newhook
    Bolduc – Dach – Anderson
    Laine – Evans – Gallagher

    Guhle – Dobson
    Hutson – Xhekaj/Struble
    Matheson – Carrier

  5. i dont care what the players did but it was concerning how the team came out & played from the jump!!! this looked like a typical MSL coached team performance slow start getting out shot & played with a laid back style hopping things go our way…. 90% of the games in the first half of last year looked similar….. total lack of leadership by our coach & captions!!! very concerning

  6. Maybe, but younger jackeye i believe is going to the AHL, they need to give him big minutes to see if he can become more than a 4th line grinder tough, think lowry

  7. Well reasoned arguments. The competition is so fierce that no position is guaranteed. Veleno proved his worth in the last game against Ottawa.
