With the mainstream media churning out stories about moving two of the Canadiens leaders, Marc Bergevin made it clear that he would not even entertain the idea of trading Carey Price and Shea Weber. The guys weigh in. The Habs are getting healthy. Joel Armia returned to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Brendan Gallagher and Jonathan Drouin should return following the bye week which presents a good problem for the coaching staff. Where do they fit in the lineup and where will Ilya Kovalchuk play currently on a point per game pace?  In a move that surprised many, the Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Gerard Gallant replacing him with Pete DeBoer. Could Gallant again be a fit with the Canadiens. Chris and Rick will offer their take.  The Montreal Canadiens still don't have an ECHL affiliate. The mayor of Trois-Rivières rejected their proposal but the team is taking another shot. The guys will update the drama.
