The Canadiens and a possible NHL expansion in 2027 | Basu & Godin Notebook

1. Where does Evans get all the props? He's a good player, but not a necessity to Montreal.

2. I have zero interest for an expansion… as a fan, it's already so rare to see your team win the Stanley Cup, that will just make it harder… but I understand that lots of people would make more money, that some towns wish to have a team, etc.

3. I'd be REALLY surprise an expansion team would be scheduled to play in 2027… they might announce a new team this season… but it will be scheduled to start in 2028 or later…

4. That Matheson 'no movement clause' might hurt the Habs quite a lot…

5. i just wanna say the idea of going from 32 teams where half of them make the playoffs to 33 teams where 48.5 percent of teams make the playoffs pisses me off so much. if you want to add a team so bad gary then f***ing move the bluejackets. 32 is the perfect number of teams for there to be!!!! i feel like i'm taking crazy pills

6. If they decide to add teams in Houston and Atlanta (Take 3) for 2028, they would have the expansion draft at the end of the season. If the expansion occurs before the next draft/free agent deadline, the teams will have to plan in order to best protect their player core.

7. Godin was cut off mid-sentence. Are we missing the end of this video?

   Was his point that maybe we should take the 8 skater protection option, which would allow us to protect another blue line player, even though it means two less players protected? IMO, Kaiden Ghule is worth protecting over two bottom six wingers.

8. It's just silly; there is already not enough RHD and C. They are deluding the talent too much for what it is, ruining the game for the mighty dollar!

9. Ya its 15:03. I think there like a good 12 mins missing
