The Canadian has announced the return of Sean Monahan for one season. Our experts agree that this is good news for everyone, but after that, what happens? There are too many centers in this formation… unless centers, like defenders in the past, we never have enough of them?
Also, with the approach of the NHL Draft, we look at Matvei Michkov, and we wonder if he is worth it. And if the Canadian had better skip his turn… Finally, we come back to the story of the coach of the Gaulois de Saint-Hyacinthe, in U18 AAA hockey, who resigned because he was no longer able to deal with toxic parents.

Pierre-Luc Dubois, how much will he cost in terms of hopes, choices or young players and how much he wants in terms of money? If he wants to have more than Suzuki and Caufield, we forget that, Dubois will not come to Montreal.

I don’t see why players [russes] would like overnight to make a career in the KHL when all players at that level want to play in the National League, period.
