He's receptive. I hope he had a good summer; we'll see at training camp, but he's a guy who could be a surprise at camp and earn a spot." #GoHabsGo #NHL01 Sep 2026 21:01 +0000at://did:plc:7uec5hu2vpz2n53aqjwpho7k/app.bsky.feed.post/3muicw7c2yn26https://bsky.app/profile/chrishabs360.bsky.social/post/3mug2covevq2pMy latest piece for @RocketSports: 🗞️ Geoff Molson and Nick Suzuki weigh in on Arber Xhekaj’s contract situation, internal development, and Martin St. Louis’ contract status.

"I am comfortable with what I bring to this group. If my number is called, I know I can contribute. If not, you just have to be a good teammate, and that is it" Since then he played four games & scored twice. #GoHabsGo21 Aug 2026 21:01 +0000at://did:plc:7uec5hu2vpz2n53aqjwpho7k/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtmnshbpg627https://bsky.app/profile/chrishabs360.bsky.social/post/3mtk5cpf6du2b#Habs Philip Danault on little roster changes "This year showed what we were missing & Kent & Gorton aren't afraid to start season like this.

It's one step at a time, you can't put that kind of pressure either. Only one team wins. Management is doing a great job.
