It's time for an overall evaluation of the 2023-24 Montreal Canadiens. Unlike other quarterly grade report articles, this one will share ratings of each player's overall play for this season.  As always, we start with the goalies and defencemen.

June 1st is an important date on the calendar for many teams and prospects as it represents a signing deadline for several players to be signed. The Habs have four of those players but only face a hard decision on one of them, Jared Davidson.

The 2024 World Hockey Championship is now underway and will run through May 26th. Despite missing the playoffs, the Habs don't have many regulars playing in this event but will have five representatives in total. As is tradition, we'll keep track of their stats here.

While the Habs didn't make the playoffs, several of their former players did. With the first round now over, it's a good time to look at how those players performed.

The NHL held its draft lottery on Tuesday to set the order of the first 16 picks in next month's draft.  The Habs had the fifth-highest odds to move up to first overall and while they didn't move up, no one behind them did either, meaning they will select fifth.

The second round of this year's playoffs is about to begin, and the HabsWorld writers shared their predictions on which NHL teams will win their respective series. The first game of the second round starts May 5th in New York.

In a move that has been expected for a while, the Habs made it official on Friday, announcing the signing of defenceman Adam Engstrom to a three-year, entry-level contract.

It’s well-known by now that the Canadiens have a surplus of defenders and that there’s a wide expectation they’ll deal from that. Justin Barron might not be the one being dealt but the decision they make on him should set the stage for a good chunk of their offseason plans.

Topics in our latest podcast include Lane Hutson's impressive NHL debut, early action in the first round of the playoffs, a discussion about who will be playing at the Worlds, and much more.
