Connor McDavid is reportedly in Montreal, but the buzz around his visit has nothing to do with a surprise hockey move.
The Oilers star is very likely in the city right now for a CCM shoot, according to information first shared by Maxime Truman. It’s a far more ordinary explanation than fans might hope for, but it still puts one of the sport’s biggest names in Montreal during the middle of summer.
The same shoot has already drawn other notable players. Logan Cooley was in Brossard yesterday for the event, and Ivan Demidov was there as well. That connection is what led to McDavid’s name surfacing too.
Truman has been careful in how he framed the update, saying McDavid is "very likely in Montreal as well right now."
For fans in the area, the possibility of spotting him is real enough to be worth watching for. Truman pointed curious eyes toward 4 Glaces in Pierrefonds and Concordia University's arena.
He also made clear what the trip is about: "There would be a shoot for CCM today in Montreal. That's the reason why Logan Cooley was in Brossard yesterday (with Ivan Demidov).
I'm told that Connor McDavid is very likely in Montreal right now too."
Even if it’s only for a commercial shoot, McDavid being in Montreal is still a notable sighting. And with his future in Edmonton still a major talking point as he gets closer to unrestricted free agency, every McDavid headline tends to carry a little extra weight.

Canadiens Fans Are Revisiting A Draft Choice That Still Hurts
The 2013 NHL Draft remains one of those nights Canadiens fans still revisit when the conversation turns to what might have been. Montral went with Michael McCarron at No. 25, looking to add size and a heavier edge to the roster, and he did eventually get into the lineup at times. But much of his development came in the AHL, and his time with the organization ended when he was traded to the Nashville Predators.
Right after that pick, Anaheim took Shea Theodore at No. 26, and his career path has been the sort that keeps hindsight buzzing around Montral. Theodore grew into a regular NHL defenseman, won a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights and even represented Canada at the Olympics, which only sharpens the contrast for Canadiens supporters still thinking about how different the blue line might have looked. It is the kind of draft slide that never fully goes away because the alternate timeline is easy to picture, even if it will never be answered. [Read more 🡒]
Nick Suzuki Keeps Raising The Canadiens Ceiling Again
Nick Suzukis rise has become one of the clearest reasons the Canadiens can talk about a higher ceiling with a straight face. After a career-best season that saw him finish with 101 points and capture the Frank J. Selke Trophy, the Montreal captain has moved beyond promising centerpiece and into the category of player who can tilt the direction of a franchise. The steady climb in his game has been the kind of progression teams spend years hoping to find, and it has given Montreal a true driver in the middle of its lineup.
What makes Suzukis outlook so intriguing now is that last season may not have been the peak, only the latest step. There is a growing sense around the Canadiens that he can challenge the 100-point mark again if the rest of the roster gives him enough support, and that possibility carries real weight as the team looks ahead. The shape of Montreals forward group and any changes around him will matter, but Suzuki has already shown he can keep raising the standard even as the expectations around him keep climbing.

Canadiens Face A Quiet Roster Squeeze That Could Reshape Next Season
The Canadiens have spent much of the summer locking in pieces of their core, but the quieter challenge now is figuring out what the next version of the roster is supposed to look like. Eight players are set to hit free agency after the season, and while Montreal has some obvious names it would like to keep around, the picture is already getting complicated enough that the front office has to balance continuity, cost and timing all at once.
Oliver Kapanen, Alex Newhook and Jayden Struble look positioned to be part of the conversation going forward, but the list of possible departures is where the real pressure starts to build. Samuel Montembeault, Kirby Dach, Josh Anderson, Phillip Danault and Alexandre Carrier could all be moving into what amounts to a final year in Montreal, and with contract decisions and trade possibilities both hanging over the group, the Canadiens may end up reshaping more than just the bottom of the roster before next season arrives.
