Currently, there are multiple negotiations underway in the NHL trade market, with the Montreal Canadiens actively participating.
General Manager Kent Hughes has a number of players available for trade, particularly those whose contracts will expire at the end of the season, making the upcoming weeks crucial for decision-making.
Various names have emerged in trade rumors, and top insiders confirm that Hughes has been busy engaging in discussions, as previously reported.
Notable players under consideration include Jake Evans, David Savard, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Michael Pezzetta, and Lucas Condotta.
However, insider David Pagnotta has specifically pointed out two names that are likely finishing their tenure with the Canadiens: Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak.
According to Pagnotta, it’s improbable that Armia and Dvorak will still be on the roster come next September. He states, “Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Jake Evans, Michael Pezzetta, and Lucas Condotta will all be unrestricted free agents this summer. Among them, returning seems unlikely for Armia and Dvorak, making them prime candidates for trade before the March 7 deadline.”
The outlook for these two forwards seems increasingly inevitable. If you were making the call, who would you trade first from the Canadiens?
More updates are on the way, and it will be intriguing to see the moves that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton make by March 7.
