Tough Decisions That Can Make or Break The Canadiens' Season | PuckTalk MTL

The Montreal Canadiens are approaching decision time—and the choices they make now could shape their entire NHL season. In this live episode of PuckTalk MTL, we break down the toughest Canadiens roster decisions coming out of training camp, from the battle for top-nine forward roles to Montreal’s crowded blue line and goaltending situation. What happens with Kirby Dach, Oliver Kapanen, Florian Xhekaj, Arber Xhekaj, David Reinbacher, Jacob Fowler, and Sam Montembeault? Should performance outweigh experience when Martin St. Louis builds his opening-night lineup? And will Kent Hughes reward the players who earned opportunities—or choose patience and roster flexibility?
