Everything indicates that we’ll have the first press conference of the offseason for the Montreal Canadiens.

According to TVA Sports journalist Anthony Martineau, Jeff Gorton will take questions starting tomorrow at 3:00 PM, ahead of the 2025 draft.

We’re extremely eager to hear what he has to say, and this is definitely a must-watch event for Habs fans.

“Reminder: Jeff Gorton will speak with us tomorrow at 3:00 PM, ahead of this weekend’s draft.”

Jeff Gorton will take questions starting tomorrow at 3:00 PM!

He’ll be answering questions related to the draft, the various circulating rumors, and likely also regarding the Canadiens’ upcoming unrestricted free agents (UFAs).

What are the plans for players like Joel Armia, Michael Pezzetta, Christian Dvorak, and others?

Will we get an announcement as early as tomorrow?

In my opinion, the player most likely to return to Montreal is Armia, but let’s wait and see.

Hopefully, the right questions are asked to Gorton.

Gorton probably won’t confirm it tomorrow, but let’s not forget that the excellent Pierre LeBrun recently reported that the Montreal Canadiens are currently trying to trade their 16th and 17th overall picks (along with prospects if needed) in order to land a top-6 impact forward.

Names like JJ Peterka, Jordan Kyrou, and possibly even Jason Robertson are being discussed on the trade market and could definitely interest the Habs.

The next 48 hours are shaping up to be exciting!
