This is a significant development for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens are actively trying to complete a ‘hockey trade,’ and we know that young center Dylan Cozens has been dealt to the Ottawa Senators.
Recently, it was revealed that the Canadiens expressed interest in acquiring Cozens, to the extent that Kent Hughes reached out directly to Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams about him.
In addition, a new player has emerged in the trade discussions.
Jordan Kyrou’s name has now come up in connection with the Montreal Canadiens, which is quite interesting.
David Pagnotta from BPM Sports noted that the Canadiens might be pursuing a winger. Pagnotta, a respected figure in the NHL and known for his connections, mentioned star forward Jordan Kyrou as a possible target.
He suggested that although Kyrou may not be in the spotlight, he could be traded soon.
This is a situation worth monitoring!
At 26 years old, Jordan Kyrou has recorded 49 points in 63 games this season with the St. Louis Blues, following impressive seasons with 67 and 73 points (31 and 37 goals) in the two prior years.
His contract is valued at $8.125 million annually, lasting until 2031.
