## Resource

Montréal Canadiens Jakub Dobeš earns a three-year extension as the Habs solidify their goalie situation—does this move set the stage for Habs contending years to come? Laura Saba and Ian Boisvert spotlight Dobeš journey, from stepping up in high-pressure games to becoming the emotional anchor of the roster. The show compares his style to Carey Price, analyzes the Canadiens’ calculated contract timing, and questions whether Jacob Fowler or Sam Montembeault could shift the goaltending hierarchy yet again. Exploring the free agent market, the hosts debate options like Anthony Mantha and Vladimir Tarasenko, discuss the limitations of this year’s UFA class, and evaluate whether trades are Montreal’s best path forward. Listener mail brings heartfelt stories about fandom, favorite Canadiens moments, and insider perspectives on the team’s culture of below-market contracts—can Kent Hughes continue building a roster of selfless stars without sacrificing future success?
