HabsWorld Podcast – Episode 110
The draft is the primary focus of our latest podcast, assessing who Montreal's options could be with their two first-round picks heading into next week's festivities.
With the NHL draft around the corner, the HabsWorld podcast gang was back to discuss the draft and talk about Montreal’s prospects and other possible offseason moves. Host Norm Szcyrek was joined by cohosts Paul MacLeod, Sean Cayouette, Jonathan Rebelo, and guest Kevin Leveille to talk about our beloved Montreal Canadiens, several NHL topics, and share a lot of laughs.
