Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The Montreal Canadiens made a trade on Wednesday! Kent Hughes shipped Cam Hillis to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for 2018 first-round pick Nicolas Beaudin. While Beaudin is set to start with the Laval Rocket at the end of the week, there is plenty to love about the latest Kent Hughes trade. Who is Beaudin, and what can fans expect from him during this season? Scott breaks it all down.

The Laval Rocket are off to a 1-4-1 start following a loss to the Belleville Senators on Wednesday night. Despite a strong showing from the team as a whole, they lost with just eight seconds left on the clock, so what is going wrong for the team? Scott takes a look at who is performing well, including Mattias Norlinder, and what might need changing as the team tries to get itself back on track this weekend.

The Habs are also back on the road, travelling to Buffalo for a showdown with the Sabres on Thursday night. Despite losing two games there is some good news for the Habs as first overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky returned to practice on Wednesday. Will the giant Slovak be back in time for the Sabres game, and if so, where can he be slotted back into the lineup?
