Bogdan Konyushkov is a prospect of the Habs who is quite intriguing. Praised by many in the KHL during his debut, he decided to sign to stay in Russia until next year.
However, his star has faded since, and as his season just ended, there are more questions than answers about him.
What is interesting in his case is that he is a right-handed defenseman, and that is not something the Habs have in abundance in Montreal.
However, his production in 2024-2025 decreased as he only scored 17 points in 67 games. Will the Habs want to bring him back when his contract ends? The question remains. The rights to Konyushkov.
Bogdan Konyushkov will be free to join the Habs at the end of next season.
What is more or less clear is if the organization sees him in their plans. https://t.co/09ZjHc3KKd

It’s not the ice time that was lacking for him this year, as he played almost 23 minutes per game on average.
While Konyushkov wants to come to North America, we don’t know if the Habs have the same willingness. We don’t feel any pressure, according to the information that has been circulating everywhere in recent months.
We will remember that the legendary Igor Larionov said in an interview with Nicolas Cloutier, from TVA Sports, that the Russian defenseman could already be an important part of the Habs.
It seems that the opinion of the Tricolore is different, at least for now. In his latest article, Cloutier reports that we don’t know if the Habs went to see him during their last trip to see Demidov play.
Konyushkov has one year left to convince the Habs to give him a chance, and honestly, I would be surprised if the Tricolore doesn’t sign him.
He could, in the worst-case scenario, go to Laval and play an important role with the team, and who knows, he could come and help the Canadiens on their third pair.
