Which teams will be hardest hit by the NHL expansion draft? The ones like Montreal that have been smartly built. It is difficult not to envision the Habs losing two very good players.

[Grant McCagg @grantmccagg]

If Beck or Florian Xhekaj isn't in the starting lineup to start the regular season and the Canadiens don't pick up another forward or have training camp injuries, I see Lucas Condotta starting the season as the 13th forward. #GoHabsGo

@AJ__24 @grantmccagg A poor nickname is tacking a Y on the end of a player's surname. Wifi was actually creative.

[HabsCast @HabsCastPodcast]

Would you trade Arber Xhekaj in a package deal for an established top-six FWD or top-4 RD?

If "Yes", who would you target? What player(s), prospect(s) and/or draft pick(s) would you include in the package?

Four NHL forwards over the past 15 years who are 6-3+ have had 70-point seasons before the age of 22. Slaf is one of them. FWIW, the other three became superstars.

@paqdaddy I hear ya. I mean - 22-goal rookie centers only come along about once every two years...but surely Kapanen has exhausted his offensive upside at the ripe old age of 22.😉

[HabsCast @HabsCastPodcast]

Caufield had 88 points last season, folks. Are Habs fans expecting him to step back or for Demidov and Hutson to explode offensively?
