Where does Kapanen fit, anyway?
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Newhook-Dach-Laine
Roy-Dvorak-Anderson
Armia-Evans-Gallagher
Pezzetta as 13th forward
(Adjust those lines as you see fit)
Unless they're content on having him as a spare forward, I don't know where he'd fit in right away beyond an injury call-up. And if you keep him as a 14th forward, you can't keep 8 D. I think it's far more likely they keep 13F 8D 2G.

If Kapanen plays the rest of the preseason the way he played tonight he's going to dress against the Leafs on opening night.

Dump Dvorak and/or Evans.

I can see teams in need of a a solid two way 3C-4C / face off guy, taking on final year of Dvorak’s $4M deal during training camp. CBJ could well be one of those teams or LAK?
Kings to explore centre market? — The Fourth Period
The LA Kings could be in the market for a fourth-line centre, according to Dennis Bernstein.

If that were to happen Evans likely gets bumped to 3C and 4C role potentially opens up for Kapanen / Beck IF they blow the doors off the camp
Longways to go still…

If he does I think they’ll find a way. It could also be Roy starting the season in Laval to make room until they find a trade to accommodate the situation.
a nice little win

Yeah. Need more data. That was a bad Phantoms team last night.

And I think Struble can still be sent down without clearing waivers.

Correct.
https://puckpedia.com/team/montreal-canadiens does an ok job to replace CapFriendly for this purpose.

We have plenty of vets, but I think the team likes Dvorak more than we do, especially as a right handed faceoff guy. But I don't think they like him that much either.
Have you seen how many picks we got in the 2025 draft? Waive Evans if you have to, he's a progress stopper at this point and he doesnt have much worth around the league. Playoffs teams want role players with size and grit.

Evans had trading value. Low maintenance utility guy, can kill penalties and pitch in offensively, but I don't see how we resign him with all the Kapanen, Beck and Hage coming up soon.

There’s no rush. I think they (Dvorak too) have value and will be traded. Might want to use the picks to smooth out an Anderson trade…

Dvorak is different than Evans. No one will give up more than a fourth for Evans, his ice time would be better spent on a guy like Kapanen and if we dont keep him for the beginning of the season he's off to Europe for the year. There is a rush IMO.
Trim the fat.

Yeah, Evans has negative value. For Dvorak you might get a pick. Just waive Evans and if he gets claimed, no big whoop.

That 2021 draft by Timmins was a nice going away present starting to look as if it’s right up there with 2007 as best draft
Mailloux, Kapanen, Roy, Xhekaj signing

Hugo will trade the expiring contracts and maybe try to find that home run deal for Matheson
Habs have too much D depth , a player or 2 will have to wait his turn
