In a recent discussion, Dave Pagnotta assessed the rebuilding progress of the Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadiens. He suggested that the Canadiens should be further along, while the Ducks are still in the midst of trading veteran players like Cam Fowler and John Gibson.

Pagnotta noted that both teams are experiencing growing pains, with the Canadiens expected to perform better. As the season progresses, both teams will likely be active in the trade market to strengthen their rosters.
