  • Dale Weise is home, and he couldn't be happier. [The Athletic | Canadiens]
  • Weise isn't the only one excited about joining the Canadiens. Nate Thompson said he gets goosebumps when he thinks about joining his new club. [Canadiens]
  • Thompson's arrival in Montreal is the latest stage of a journey that began with him getting sober two years ago. [The Athletic]
  • The acquisition of Thompson is a signal for the rest of the league. They aren't gonna mortgage the future for the present, but they're not gonna stand pat either. [NBC Sports]
  • There are a lot of new faces (and some old faces back again) at Canadiens practice, and they're all excited to get going. [Canadiens]
  • ESPN rates the top ten NHL dynasties of all time. It's no surprise that several of them go to Montreal. [ESPN]
  • Claude Julien doesn't necessarily mind if his fourth line doesn't score goals — as long as they're not giving them up. Dale Weise and Nate Thompson may help in that regard. [The Athletic]
  • Ann-Sophie Bettez has been a CWHL star for years now, and she’s finally getting an incredibly well deserved shot at the Canadien women’s team. [The Star]
  • Joel Ward, who joined the Canadiens for training camp this fall, doesn’t consider himself retired. Not yet. [Color of Hockey]/

  • It's not exactly news at this point, but the Oilers are wasting Connor McDavid. [TSN]
