New Canadiens Connection: Key Storylines

In case you haven’t noticed, refreshing ‘X’ these days has been drastically reduced to just a couple of times a day to see what news has come out around the NHL. That’s a vast difference from just a month ago when we were all refreshing every five minutes!

But there are still several Habs’ storylines worth keeping an eye on before we start talking about the run-up to training camp. Despite it being so quiet around the Montreal Canadiens, there are still moving pieces in play.

And just because these topics may not command the headlines on any given day, they’ll absolutely help shape what this team looks like, not just on opening night, but throughout the season. That makes them important to keep front of mind.

This Week’s Show

So this week, on a new episode of the Canadiens Connection podcast, we’re taking a closer look at the Canadiens’ remaining offseason storylines, discussing where each one stands today, and what, if anything, might still change before the puck drops on a new NHL season.
