The Montreal Canadiens still have one major problem if they want to pursue Dylan Larkin: the Detroit Red Wings center has not approved Montreal as a trade destination.
That has not stopped an intriguing Canadiens prospect from entering the conversation.
TVA Sports reporter Nicolas Cloutier recently pointed to Michael Hage, Montreal's 2024 first-round pick, as a player Detroit knows particularly well and would have interest in. Hage plays at the University of Michigan, putting him directly in the Red Wings' scouting backyard. He also has an unusual connection to Detroit's front office through Michigan teammate Will Horcoff, the son of Red Wings executive Shawn Horcoff.
Cloutier said he is convinced Detroit knows Hage well and believes the Red Wings would be interested in him, according to a report relaying his comments on BPM Sports.
That does not mean Hage has been offered for Larkin or that the teams are actively negotiating.

Former Houston Rockets center Montrezl Harrell appears to be attempting an NBA comeback. Although he's recently played in the BIG3, Harrell is still 32 years old and is now aiming to make another NBA roster.

Harrell's NBA career spanned eight seasons, two of which were with the Rockets. In those years, the former Louisville big man averaged 6.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.8 **** ists, 0.3 steals and 0.5 blocks. Harrell would later become one of the league's premiere sixth men, taking home the 2019-2020 Sixth Man of the Year Award after averaging 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 **** ists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Harrell's last NBA campaign came during the 2022-23 season, where he suited up in 57 games for the Philadelphia 76ers.

MONTREAL (AP) — Chris Kreider agreed to terms on a contract for this season with the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday after mutually terminating his previous deal with the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week.
Kreider, a Massachusetts native, wanted to get back to the Eastern Conference to be closer to family after playing last year in Southern California following a trade from the New York Rangers. The 35-year-old winger joins a young team that is coming off reaching the East final before losing to eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina.
Kreider has been booed in Montreal since colliding with Carey Price during a playoff series with the Rangers in 2014. Price did not play again that spring because of a resulting knee injury.

Eighth-seeded Ben Shelton overpowered former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday to book a US Open quarter-final date with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Shelton -- riding high after a strong August that included a ***** le at the ATP Montreal Masters, where he didn't drop a set -- dominated on serve.
The American blasted a dozen aces and never faced a break point in a match lasting just one hour and 52 minutes.
Shelton put 71 percent of his first serves in play and won 84 percent of those points.
"I was focused today," said Shelton, a 2023 US Open semi-finalist. "I played a complete match from start to finish."

TORONTO (AP) — Derrick Etienne Jr. scored the tying goal in second-half stoppage time and Josh Sargent recorded his first career hat trick as Toronto FC rallied for a 4-4 draw against the Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
Toronto (5-7-11) allowed the first goal and came back to earn at least a draw for the eighth time this season.
Chicago (11-6-5) played to a draw for the third straight match.
Sargent scored his first goal on a strike from the center of the box in the 27th minute. Nine minutes later, Sargent sent a shot past Chicago goalkeeper Chris Brady for a 2-1 lead. Sargent broke a 2-all tie in the 54th for Toronto's first hat trick since Federico Bernardeschi did so against Montreal on May 18, 2024.
But a pair of defensive breakdowns led to Chicago reclaiming the lead.

Less than 48 hours after six players automatically qualified for the International Team's 2026 Presidents Cup roster, Captain Geoff Ogilvy identified the other half dozen members on Tuesday.
Si Woo Kim, the only player in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking on the 12-man team, headlines the International side at Medinah Country Club later this month.
Of the automatic qualifiers, three are major champions — Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyma and Ryan Fox, with Fox' triumph at Royal Birkdale vaulting him to No. 25 in the OWGR. The other two automatic qualifying bids went to Min Woo Lee and Tom Kim, who round out the world's top 30 players as of Sept. 1.
While Ogilvy's captain's picks bring a combined zero major championships to the table, Sungjae Im, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Corey Conners do carry experience having played at Quail Hollow in 2022 and Royal Montreal in 2024 — both tournaments won by the Americans.
The other three captain's picks are far more green in terms of history on this stage (see: none). Those players are Colombia's Nico Echavarria, ***** an's Ryo Hisatsune and Canada's Nick Taylor.

McLaren spent the first half of 2026 looking like last year's champion team in name only. The wins dried up, the new car took time to come alive and even as Lando Norris kept putting points on the board, the gap to Kimi Antonelli kept growing. Then Hungary happened, Zandvoort followed, and two weeks was all it took to change the mood of the season.
Norris has now won the last two grands prix and sits fourth in the standings at 159 points, 83 behind Antonelli and 24 behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, who are tied at 183. That is still a mountain for Norris and McLaren to climb, but it is no longer out of the question.

McLaren is third in the constructors' championship with 263 points, 75 behind Ferrari and 162 behind Mercedes. Another strong weekend at Monza would not crown anyone, but it would force the two teams ahead to treat McLaren as a Sunday problem rather than a midfield inconvenience.

Thanks to an early goal from Casemiro and a historic night for Lionel Messi, who scored four times including two free-kicks, Inter Miami thrashed CF Montréal 7-1 in Fort Lauderdale in the MLS.
Casemiro opened the scoring in the 20th minute, rising highest to head home Telasco Segovia's corner.
The Canadians briefly levelled through Herbers, but Messi soon restored Miami's advantage with a free-kick that took a touch off Petrasso before wrong-footing Thomas Gillier.
Messi struck again early in the second half, weaving through the defence after a pass from Luis Suárez before making it 3-1.
Suárez then added a fourth, rounding Gillier after being played through by Messi, who completed his hat-trick moments later with a delicate finish over the goalkeeper.

And only a couple of world-class athletes could say that they wished their schedules kept them apart more often.
"It's bittersweet," Rodman told Victory+ July 3 after Shelton's first-round loss at Wimbledon freed him up for an in-person kiss following the Washington Spirit's 2-1 win over the Houston Dash. "I wish he wasn't here, but I'm obviously happy whenever he's able to come and support me and I get to spend time with him."

(NewsNation) — An advocate for AI safeguards has grim predictions about what the technology will be able to do in the next five to 10 years if the industry does not develop guardrails.
David Krueger, a University of Montreal ****** istant professor of machine learning, said the recent rogue actions of OpenAI models that hacked into a competitor's servers were a "warning shot" that shouldn't be ignored.
"The next one, these AI agents could be hacking into peoples' bank accounts, hacking into critical infrastructure … that's the sort of thing that could happen in the next year," Krueger told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday.
AI giants sound alarm on potential cyberattacks
"But in five or 10 years, we're talking about AI systems that are like a new form of life — that are out there in the world surviving, reproducing, improving themselves. And we can't stop them. We can't shut them down. That's when it's too late."

Lionel Messi is still not slowing down anytime soon. The Argentine legend bagged a hat-trick against CF Montréal this evening as the Herons thrashed the Canadian side.
Initially it appeared the forward had scored four to finish the night, but after the match one of his goals was adjusted to an own-goal by Montréal. A stunning performance nonetheless.
Miami had been in a slump lately, but with new head coach Kily Gonzalez in the door this week, they made a statement with the thrashing of Montréal on home soil.
Messi was the star man, as usual, scoring three goals in the process, including two ridiculous finishes.
The first came from a vintage mazy run in the box before sliding the ball home.

Lionel Messi scored four goals as Inter Miami snapped their five-game winless streak with a 7-1 thrashing of struggling Montreal in Major League Soccer on Saturday.
Miami have endured a rocky spell since the resumption of play following the World Cup finals, losing four of their previous five games heading into Saturday's clash in Florida.
But the reigning MLS Cup champions got back to winning ways with a confident performance against Montreal, who are languishing second from bottom in the Eastern Conference.
Brazil international Casemiro, who joined Miami after the World Cup, bagged his first goal for the champions with a 20th minute header at the Nu Stadium.
Montreal though hit back with a 37th-minute goal from Fabian Herbers, the German midfielder's low shot from the edge of the area squeezing into the bottom corner.

Lionel Messi is unstoppable. The Inter Miami star once again had a night to remember on Saturday, scoring four goals as the Herons thrashed CF Montréal 7-1.
With the haul, Messi hit 17 goals on the season, a number that pulls him to a lead in the MLS Golden Boot race. The Inter Miami captain tied and then passed FC Dallas forward Petar Musa for the sole spot at the top of the scoring standings.
Two of Messi's goals came off free kicks, one of the veteran forward's specialties. Messi pulled Miami back into the lead in the 40th minute with a curving shot that was mishandled by the Montéal defense.
Early in the second half, Messi found the back of the net again, staying upright through traffic before sending in a powerful shot.
In the 83rd minute, Messi timed a chip past Montréal goalkeeper Thomas Gillier, who surged to meet the captain but didn't get there in time.

Casemiro is off and running in the pink shirt of Inter Miami, putting the Herons ahead against CF Montréal at the Nu Stadium.
After Miami piled on the pressure in the opening 20 minutes, it took a set piece to break the deadlock.
After a couple knocks on the Montréal door, Casemiro went up strong to fire home his first goal for the club with a bullet header.
Inter Miami are heading into a new era with Kily Gonzalez in the door as the club's fourth head coach.
But getting goals from you midfield star can only help pull them back into the picture after a recent slump.

Bank of Montreal (NYSE:BMO) reported third-quarter net income of C$1.75 billion, down 25% from a year earlier, while company-defined non-GAAP adjusted net income increased 19% to C$2.86 billion.

From Maguiresbridge to Celtic, Casey Howe has already packed plenty into a career that has taken her across the UK and Ireland - but her latest chapter may be the most exciting yet.
A Northern Ireland debut at 17, a treble-winning season with Glentoran, a move to Nottingham Forest and promotion with Wolves have all helped shape the County Fermanagh native, who is now testing herself at one of the biggest clubs in Scottish women's football.
The 23-year-old got off the mark for Celtic on just her second appearance for the club last Sunday, with a beautiful left-footed curler that finally broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute of an eventual 3-0 win over Montrose in the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL).
"Being just a young girl from Maguiresbridge, it is pretty surreal to do this," Howe told BBC Sport NI.
The road to the state-of-the-art training centre at Barrowfield in the East End of Glasgow was one paved with long journeys, family sacrifice and a belief that one day she could reach the highest level.

In what might be the last publication of a revealing look at the credit conditions in the trucking industry, the quarterly earnings of bank BMO released Tuesday showed the stronger freight market impacting its numbers.
BMO, the former Bank of Montreal and one of the largest lenders to the trucking industry, has announced its plans to sell its transportation unit to private equity firm Stonepeak in May. The deal is expected to close before the end of the year; the next earnings release for BMO is scheduled for December 2.
While net writeoffs in the third quarter ended July 31 were barely changed from the prior quarter, declining to Ca $24 million (US $17.32 million) from $25 million, that number is more of a backward-looking figure.
Provisions and allowances, as well as the size of the company's gross loans considered impaired, which are a bank's expectations of future troubled loans and estimates of the size of its issued credit that is under pressure, showed significant declines in the third quarter.
Provisions for credit losses fell to $15 million from $41 million in the second quarter. A year ago that figure was $50 million. The $15 million figure is the lowest since the first quarter of 2023.

Celtic FC Women continued their winning start to the season, kicking off their first home fixture of the campaign with a 3-0 victory.
The Ghirls welcomed Montrose to the Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex for their opening match at their new home.
Despite a dominant performance, which saw the Hoops hit the woodwork on three occasions, Grant Scott's side were made to wait, with the three goals coming in the final 10 minutes.
But those goals were worth the wait, with Casey Howe kicking off the scoring with a stunning strike from the edge of the area to open her Celtic account.
That was followed minutes later by another long-distance effort, this time for the returning Maria McAneny, playing her first minutes since April.

There was a number of spectacular goals on show, on Sunday as Celtic FC Women ran out 3-0 winners over Montrose.
In what could have been a frustrating afternoon for the Hoops, Grant Scott's side showcased their quality with three superb strikes late on in the win at their new home in Kirkintilloch.
Casey Howe was the first to get the scoring underway, with her 82nd-minute strike firing the Hoops in front.
It was a special strike from the winger, who grabbed her first in green and white in style, powering an effort home off the underside of the bar.
And that was followed by another sublime strike going in off the underside of the woodwork, this time from Maria McAneny.
