The Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup soon according to Analyst

According to him, the Montreal Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup in 2027-2028.

Here is the team that could win the big honors in five years:

Cole Caufield - Kirby Dach - Pierre-Luc Dubois
Matvei Michkov - Nick Suzuki - Juraj Slafkosvky
Joshua Roy - Owen Beck - Sean Farrell
Luke Tuch - Jan Mysak - Jesse Ylonen

Kaiden Guhle - Logan Mailloux
Lane Hutson - Justin Barron
Mike Matheson - Arber Xhekaj

Juuse Saros
Eric Olsson

Of course, there would have to be a lot of personnel movement for the Tricolore to have such a dominant lineup on hand.

Even though David Ettegui linked the Habs to Austrian defenseman David Reinbacher earlier this week, he mentions that he would draft none other than Matvei Michkov this year.

The chances are slim that the Russian forward will still be available when the Red-White staff takes the floor on June 28, but if that's the case, Kent Hughes can't pass up such an opportunity to add a future 50-goal scorer to his roster.

He would then proceed with the signing of goaltender Juuse Saros, who will become an independent player on July 1, 2025. It would be surprising if the Predators let the goalie go for free, but the emergence of young Yaroslav Askarov could force David Poile to part with Saros.

He would also try to get hold of Swedish goaltender Eric Olsson in the first round of next year's draft. The 17-year-old goaltender is already seen as one of the top prospects in goal.

Finally, he would acquire Quebecer Pierre-Luc Dubois to add some offensive punch to the Montreal Canadiens' top-6.

While this is a very interesting proposition, it's hard to see how Kent Hughes would manage to add all of his pieces to his lineup.
