Inside the latest Locked on Canadiens

It's been a chaotic off-season so far and the NHL Draft is three weeks away, and the Stanley Cup hasn't even been awarded yet. The biggest news recently however, is that CapFriendly is going dark after the Free Agent Frenzy comes to a close because they have been purchased by the Washington Capitals. Scott and Laura discuss the other options out there for replacing them, and why this move is a slap in the face to fans.

Also rumbling around the news, Ivan Demidov might be the next highly talented Russian player to tumble down the board on draft day, despite having piles of talent. The hosts discuss whether or not the Habs will contribute to that fall, or if they'll learned from their mistake last year with Matvei Michkov.

Finally, Free Agency is looming and the reports are starting to make it look like there's a lot bottom six forwards who could easily improve a lot of teams. Buyer beware however, as they might also becoming off career-defining seasons and come with a hefty price tag as well.
