Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on with Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenceman Colby Cohen, and they're bringing in Montreal Canadiens insider Marco D'Amico to break down a wild few days in Habs land. Brendan Gallagher's 14-year run in Montreal is officially over after his trade to the Vancouver Canucks, and Marco joins to unpack what the return really tells us about where things stand. From there the conversation shifts to Kent Hughes' ongoing hunt for a second-line centre, with names like Vincent Trocheck, Mason McTavish and a thinning trade market all in play just days before free agency opens. Marco also weighs in on the Jason Robertson chatter out of Dallas, the Samuel Montembeault situation, the Habs' size-focused draft haul headlined by Gleb Pugachyov, and where things stand in the Atlantic Division. With free agency landing in 48 hours, this is the conversation Habs fans need before everything changes.

Jonny and Colby kick things off with the moment everyone is talking about — Justin Bieber taking the stage in Buffalo to announce Gavin McKenna as the first overall pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs, ten years after Auston Matthews was taken in that same building. They dig into what McKenna's arrival means for a Leafs franchise that appears to be building something real under John Chayka.From there, the conversation shifts to the NHL's new decentralized draft format making its arena debut in Buffalo, and whether the chaos it produced on draft night — trades flying in from every direction — was a sign of things to come every June. The Rangers made their biggest splash in years, acquiring Pavel Dorofeyev from Vegas on a seven-year deal, while the Bruins gave up two first-rounders to land JJ Peterka after his one-year stint in Utah fell flat. The Blues went all-in on Mason McTavish, and now the question is whether any of these teams actually won the weekend.Then the guys turn their attention to what could be the defining move of the entire offseason — Zach Werenski. The reigning Norris Trophy winner wants out of Columbus, controls his destination with a full no-movement clause, and reportedly Toronto is the only Canadian city on his list. With free agency days away, Jonny and Colby break down what a potential Werenski trade would cost and whether the Leafs are quietly becoming the most dangerous team heading into next season.Don't miss a second of the daily hockey talk!🎙️ Subscribe to the Morning Cuppa Hockey podcast — Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen.Powered by @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/👍🏼 Proraso USA: http://www.Proraso-USA.com👍🏼 Outwest: https://outwest.us/#NHL #MapleLeafs #Panthers #HockeyTalk #DailyFaceoff #StanleyCup Hosted on Acast.

Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey is bringing you a full breakdown of the biggest trade of the NHL offseason — Brady Tkachuk is headed to the Florida Panthers, and Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are here to unpack every angle of a deal that just reshuffled the entire Eastern Conference.Brady Tkachuk is joining his brother Matthew in South Florida after the Ottawa Senators shipped their captain to the Panthers in exchange for three first-round picks and a second — including the 9th and 25th overall selections in the 2026 NHL Draft. It's a blockbuster that raises enormous questions on both sides: What does it mean for Ottawa's rebuild? And just how dangerous is this Panthers roster now?With two years remaining on his deal at a cap hit of $8.2 million, Brady gives Florida a two-way weapon who was a menace defensively even through an injury-shortened season — and the prospect of him lining up alongside Matthew and Sam Bennett is something opposing defences will have nightmares about. Florida missed the playoffs this season after a rash of injuries — most notably Aleksander Barkov missing the entire year — but with this move they're already being talked about as front-runners out of the East once again. Jonny and Colby dig into what the Sens get back, whether Steve Staios pulled the trigger at the right time, and what the Tkachuk reunion means for a Panthers team that's won two of the last three Stanley Cups. Then to close things out, The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta stops by with the latest from around the league as the NHL rumour mill kicks into overdrive heading into draft week.Don't miss a second of the daily hockey talk!🎙️ Subscribe to the Morning Cuppa Hockey podcast — Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen.Powered by @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/👍🏼 Proraso USA: http://www.Proraso-USA.com👍🏼 Outwest: https://outwest.us/#NHL #MapleLeafs #Panthers #HockeyTalk #DailyFaceoff #StanleyCup Hosted on Acast.
