Episode 92: Canadiens Signings & Patrik Laine Rumors

Get PuckD Podcast: A Montreal Canadiens Podcast

Please note that this is one of our longer episodes and we got caught up with the topics - We apologize for that, but we hope you enjoy

In this episode, we discuss...

The Montreal Canadiens signed 3 of their RFAs to new contracts. Arber Xhekaj signed for 2 years at a $1.3 million AAV, Justin Barron 2 years at a $1.15 million AAV, and Kaiden Guhle 6 years at a $5.55 million AAV. We give our thoughts on the contracts and what this could mean for the Canadiens going forward. Matt thinks that Guhle getting a 6-year contract instead of 8 is interesting. Tune in to find out why.

There have been a lot of rumors swirling around social media about Patrick Laine and the Montreal Canadiens. We have spoken about Laine and the Montreal Canadiens in the past (episode 87). Has our opinion on Laine changed since then, do we think that Laine for the next 2 years would be a good fit for the Montreal Canadiens. Knowing that he doesn't have to be "The Guy" in Montreal, would that help him to take his game to the next level? We discuss all of that and more.
