Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The NHL and NHLPA appear to be exploring a path towards an 84 game season, adding on two more games for teams in what already feels like a season that lasts too long. The host discuss their feelings around why an 84 game season is heading in the wrong direction for the NHL, and why shortening the season might lead to a better quality of hockey.

Marc Bergevin's name has popped up a lot in recent interviews for NHL general manager positions, with the Penguins, Flames and allegedly the Maple Leafs all wanting to or having talked to the former Habs GM. What should teams expect if they do hire Bergevin, and how are the hosts feeling about his potential return to an NHL front office?

Finally, with Cole Caufield still out of contract the Canadiens fanbase is beginning to worry about the potential of an offer sheet from an opposing team. A listener poses a great question on the limit to which the Canadiens could willingly match a potential offer sheet. The host break the details down, and debate where the line in the sand is with a new contract.
