Canadiens Mailbag: Habs Lack Grit? Plus Laine, Dach Updates

Since the end of the season, fans of the Montreal Canadiens have turned their attention towards potential offseason measures to continue making progress on the rebuild. Listeners of the Canadiens Connection podcast submitted questions and comments to the Rocket Sports mailbag about a variety of topics. Many fans focused on a big summer acquisition by General Manager Kent Hughes to fill a vacancy at the second line center slot.

Listeners also want to know about the futures of Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine with the organization. Size and team toughness, a sought-after attribute identified by Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations, Jeff Gorton, was also on the minds of many Habs supporters. And we also fielded inquiries about the Canadiens goaltending situation.

Opening the Rocket Sports mailbag to respond to your most pressing questions about the Montreal Canadiens offseason moves is the focus of the this week’s episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast, now available on Hockey HotStove.
