Episode 108: Caufield for Dobson? Has Slaf Found his Game? Rantanen, Demidov

Get PuckD Podcast: A Montreal Canadiens Podcast

In this episode, we discuss...

A local radio station (not naming who) brought up the rumor that Dobson may be available for the right price. They mused over the idea of Dobson being traded to the Montreal Canadiens. During their segment they mentioned that to get Dobson, the Habs would likely have to send Caufield the other way. Would we trade Cole Caufield for Noah Dobson?

Since the 4 Nations tournament, the Habs have played two games (Ottawa and Carolina) and won both games. Slafkovsky has scored in both games and has been a beast. Before the season resumed, he stated "to have success in the NHL, you have to play like Brady Tkachuk." In the first game after making that statement, VS Ottawa, he scored a goal, got into a fight, was the first star of the game, and finished the game with 8 hits. He is definitely more engaged. Has he found his game? Is this the version of Slaf we will see more often than not?

There are some rumors circulating around Rantanen and Carolina. Apparently, during the 4 Nations tournament, the Carolina Hurricanes submitted an offer to Rantanen. He has yet to sign and has let Carolina know that he still needs time. The latest rumors/speculation going around is that Carolina may consider flipping Rantanen again by the NHL Trade Deadline. Assuming he makes it to Free Agency, should the Habs open their wallet and/or give him a blank check? Would we sign Rantanen to 13+ million dollars?

Demidov should be signing his entry-level contract when his season with SKA is done. All analysts, scouts, podcasters, members of media, etc. are all saying that Demidov could be the Habs next 100 pts player. He has all the skill and talent to be the first 100 pts player since Mats Naslund. If he hits his ceiling, and scores 100 pts, at the end of his ELC, would you give him the contract that 100 pts player would typically get?

We play the game "Hab for a Minute". Who is our favorite former Habs player, who played minimum 1 game and maximum half a season?
