Christian Dvorak will be as free as a bird as of July 1.

And in the recent episode of his 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman said the player is “probably” on his way out.

The man who wore #28 in Montreal in recent years spoke to the media today as part of the Habs’ end-of-season review… and right off the bat, he reiterated that he loves the city of Montreal and the group of players in place.

But D-VO also knows that his time in Montreal is about to come to an end.

In talking to reporters today, he spoke of his time with the CH in the past tense.

He seems aware that the organization wants to move on.

I enjoyed playing here. – Christian Dvorak

Removing Dvorak from the Canadiens’ center line creates a hole.

We already knew that.

But if Kent Hughes isn’t planning to bring D-Vo back to town, it’s because he has another idea in mind.

The Habs’ GM has already begun his summer work, and he’s already putting his pieces in place for next season.

He’s not going to let Dvorak go because he doesn’t like him… and given how much we’ve seen from the veteran in the final stretch of the season, you’d think he’d have a chance of staying in Montreal.

I’m also eager to see if Dvorak’s departure will have an impact on Cole Caufield. After all, the two are great chums and live together.

That said, everything points to Caufield losing his friend… and we know that sometimes that can have an impact on a player’s performance on the ice.


Extension

Marco D’Amico makes a good point: Dvorak needs to be replaced by a player who can win face-offs.

D-Vo was useful in the circle… and he was one of the Habs’ most reliable players there in recent seasons.

It’s not for nothing that he was seen starting most overtime games at Suzuki center. The CH wanted the puck!
