Summary
The Canadiens weren’t satisfied with their playoff run—they were actively hunting elite talent before the deadline, with Alexis Lafreniere the top target. Despite underwhelming hype since being drafted, Lafreniere delivered 24 goals and 33 assists last season while playing every game. Montreal reportedly threw down a massive package—Zharovsky, two first-round picks, and another prospect—to land him, but the deal fell through. Don’t count him out yet: the door’s still open for a summer swoop if they can outbid the Rangers. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
