The Starr & D'Amico Show

The NHL trade market might finally be starting to shake loose — and that could be very good news for the Montreal Canadiens.

After a trade between the Nashville Predators and New Jersey Devils, we look at whether this could be the beginning of more movement around the NHL and where Kent Hughes and the Canadiens fit into the picture.

Are the Habs still actively looking to make another deal before the season gets underway? More importantly, how many teams around the NHL are willing to move established players in exchange for draft picks, prospects and future assets?

Montreal has spent years building up its prospect pool and draft capital. If more teams decide they're willing to sell, could Kent Hughes finally find the deal he's been waiting for?

We break down the NHL trade market, potential sellers, Montreal's assets and whether the Canadiens could be one of the next teams to make a move.

The Montreal Canadiens went through the offseason without adding the established second-line center many expected — so who fills that major role to start the season?

With training camp approaching, Martin St-Louis has some fascinating options.

Could Alex Newhook finally get an extended opportunity down the middle? Is Oliver Kapanen ready to take another step and claim the job? Or could a healthy Kirby Dach get another chance to prove he can be the Canadiens' answer at second-line center?

On today's Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down all three candidates, what each player brings to the position, who fits best alongside Montreal's wingers, and what Martin St-Louis could be looking for when camp begins.

The Canadiens didn't go outside the organization to find their 2C. Maybe the answer was already here.

Who would YOU start at second-line center: Newhook, Kapanen or Dach?

Training camp is getting closer, but Arber Xhekaj and Zachary Bolduc still don’t have new contracts with the Montreal Canadiens. So… what’s going on?

Things have been remarkably quiet surrounding both players, and with the Canadiens getting closer to camp, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down where things stand and why deals haven’t been announced yet.

Is this simply normal contract negotiation between Kent Hughes and the two RFAs? Could term, salary or future cap flexibility be holding things up? And is there any reason for Habs fans to be concerned if Xhekaj and Bolduc remain unsigned as camp approaches?

We break down the latest, what the Canadiens could be trying to accomplish with both contracts, and whether we should expect things to finally heat up.

Connor Hellebuyck has requested a trade — and this could have major implications across the NHL, including for the Montreal Canadiens.

On today’s Starr & D’Amico Show, we break down the fallout from Hellebuyck’s trade request and what it says about the growing power NHL players have in determining where — and when — they want to play.

But there’s a huge question: how many teams can realistically trade for Connor Hellebuyck?

We discuss:

🏒 Which NHL teams actually make sense for Hellebuyck
💰 What Winnipeg could demand in a blockbuster trade
🔥 How Hellebuyck’s contract impacts the market
👀 Whether player empowerment is changing the NHL
🥅 What a Hellebuyck trade does to the goalie market
🔵⚪🔴 And most importantly — what does all of this mean for Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault?

Could teams that miss out on Hellebuyck turn their attention to Montreal? And could this suddenly change the value of Montembeault on the NHL trade market?
