Another absolute banger of a contract for the Montreal Canadiens. Especially if Ivan Demidov hits the ceiling of this trajectory with a Net Rating of plus-15.

Nick Suzuki is a 100 point scorer. #GoHabsGo

This is Pierre Houde’s magnum opus. And that’s saying something.

Cole Caufield is a 50 goal scorer. #GoHabsGo

The Habs have levelled up since last year, simple as that. They score more, concede less, and have improved their underlying numbers as well. How far are they from turning playoff contention into Cup contention? That's the question I guess.

And now Hutson meets the parameters for 'Superstar Producer' and he can go pointless in the next 66 games and still be there. Habs got an all-timer at 62nd overall.

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Lane Hutson, signed to an 8x$8.9M extension by MTL, is a young top pair offensive defenceman with sensational skating, agility, creativity, hands, and puck-moving ability. He is tiny, and defence has been a work-in-progress, but he'll be very good for a long time. #GoHabsGo

[dom 📈 @domluszczyszyn]

Lane Hutson signs an outrageously team-friendly deal considering his skill-set, age, comps, and a rapidly exploding salary cap.

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Noah Dobson, acquired by MTL, is a top pairing offensive defenceman. Skilled, capable of moving the puck in transition by joining the rush and sending stretch passes. Great shot as well. Doesn't play that physical in his own end and defence has been inconsistent. #GoHabsGo

[dom 📈 @domluszczyszyn]

Montreal acquires Noah Dobson, a strong top pair defenseman who should solidify the team's top four for years to come as an offensive pillar behind Lane Hutson.

Montreal Canadiens... you got a real nice one at 62nd overall. Lane Hutson is exceptionally small but the production and projection is immense. Dmen that have this profile in the model turn into stars 3 out of 5 times.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

WOW!!!

With the first pick of the 2022 NHL draft... Juraj Slafkovsky is the selection.

Slafkovsky doesn't have the look of a typical 1st pick or even top 5 pick. Very low prod. for a such a high pick.

Lots of risk here. Best case I think we're looking at a Nichushkin type

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Nick Suzuki, signed 8x$7.875M by MTL, is a defence-first playmaking centre who took a step forward as a sophomore but has another leap to make until he's worth that big ticket. Big season coming up for him. #GoHabsGo
