The Montreal Canadiens have exercised the two-year option of the contract of head coach Martin St. Louis, committing him to the team for the next three seasons. Montreal brought in St. Louis on an interim basis following Dominique Ducharme's dismissal in February 2022. The 48-year-old from Laval, Que., was named head coach at the end of that season, taking on his first role behind an NHL bench. The Canadiens have missed the playoffs in three straight campaigns after finishing last in the Atlantic Division with a 30-36-16 record this season.

The playoffs may not have been a realistic goal for the Montreal Canadiens in 2023-24. For the most part, the Habs met and even exceeded them, even if they can finish in the same spot in the standings two years in a row. Plus, having made some progress in terms of points earned, it's not like the Canadiens haven't improved. Considering general manager Kent Hughes effectively threw in the towel a month before the trade deadline by dealing Sean Monahan early, proper context says the Habs were even better than their current record indicates, probably in line for greater success in 2024-25.

Lane Hutson looked like a kid who had borrowed his father's much-too-large Canadiens sweater when he met the media after being selected in the second round (62nd overall) of the 2022 NHL Draft at the Bell Centre. Hutson was ranked 25th among North American skaters heading into the draft by NHL Central Scouting and was listed at 5-foot-9 and 148 pounds at the time. The Canadiens selected Juraj Slafkovsky — who was listed at 6-foot-4 and 218 pounds — with the No. 1 overall pick that day, which made Hutson look even smaller.

Only one game remains on the Montreal Canadiens' calendar, but the outcome of it can have a major impact on the upcoming NHL draft lottery.

Currently tied with the Arizona Coyotes with 75 points on the season, the Habs, who lost to the Detroit Red Wings in overtime on Monday, are only one point behind the Ottawa Senators in 26th place. If the Canadiens lose tonight's home matchup against Detroit, they will stay put in 28th, regardless of other outcomes across the league.

Entering the last week of another losing Montreal Canadiens season in 2023-24, it's understandable to want to look at the bigger picture as far as the rebuild is concerned. It just so happens that a fair bit of those are coincidentally likely to shape the overall organization moving forward, as the Canadiens logically take the next step from a competitive standpoint. In the interest of full disclosure, Brandon Gignac was never at any real risk of catching on in the NHL. Now, trading Monahan when general manager Kent Hughes did was the right move to be clear.
