Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

With the major summer events behind them, the hosts take a look at Kent Hughes' work as the Habs GM since the offseason began in today's show.

Starting with the players the Canadiens didn't qualify, or let go into free agency, did the front office miss anyone big? Or was letting veterans like Jonathan Drouin and Alex Belzile go the right plan? How do the hosts also feel about the Joel Edmundson trade?

After that, Scott and Laura discuss a divisive NHL Draft from the end of June. While David Reinbacher looks like a true gem in the Canadiens prospect pool, how did Hughes and the Habs grade overall?

Finally, free agency has slowed to a crawl, but Hughes has managed to get his work done in relatively quick fashion. The hosts discuss the rebuilding of the Laval Rocket's lineup, plus locking up multiple other RFAs to great value deals for the upcoming few seasons. Has Hughes played it too safe, or is he setting the Canadiens up for a huge offseason next year when the salary cap goes up?
