Anton Rasegård joins Sweden’s own podcast guru Patrik Bexell for a chat surrounding the whispers of an extended playoff format, where the Montreal Canadiens would have a play-in series against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. What would be the Habs’ keys to making this playoff experience a memorable one? Should teams be scared of facing a rested Carey Price in a playoff series?
Would it even be preferable to get a playoff run after this measly season, since it would effectively end the teeny tiny hopes of getting the first pick in the draft?
Also, how would the NHL Draft be affected if it was held after 15 July, and could it change the order of which some of the top prospects are drafted?
Which prospect do we imagine the Canadiens end up with if they draft eighth overall, and how should the franchise optimize his development?
