David Pagnotta discussed the Montreal Canadiens' defensive lineup on TSN 690 Radio, focusing on Jayden Struble's future with the team. The amount of playing time Struble receives this season hinges on the team’s decisions regarding David Savard and Mike Matheson, both of whom may be moved in the near future. Pagnotta noted that if Savard is traded, it could open up opportunities for Struble and possibly other defensemen to gain NHL experience.

As the Canadiens evaluate their roster, the coaching staff will need to determine how best to utilize Struble and whether to give him consistent playing time. The team's strategy may evolve as they consider trades and roster adjustments, which will ultimately influence Struble's role later in the season.
