Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens trimmed their roster by two more names on Monday morning with Mattias Norlinder and Emil Heineman being assigned to the Laval Rocket. Scott and Laura discuss whether or not sending down Norlinder was truly the right call, and what it means for the full NHL roster ahead of their first regular season game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Also related to waivers, both Joel Armia and Gustav Lindstrom passed through unclaimed and will be assigned to the Rocket as well. Where do the veterans fit into the Rocket lineup now, or will they even stay in Laval beyond this first week of the season? The hosts discuss the possibility of further trades and Kent Hughes pulling off more magic as well.

Finally, the Rocket named their new leadership group for the upcoming season, with Gabriel Bourque officially becoming the fourth captain in franchise history. Scott walks through the other players wearing a letter and what it says about this Laval team heading into a season where expectations are sky-high.
