Injured (lower body) last weekend, Montreal Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot could return this afternoon against the New York Islanders, but it would be an unnecessary risk. Imagine if he hurts himself more seriously.
Friedman adds that the St. Louis Blues, who were also playing in the evening yesterday, are very interested in acquiring defenseman Chiarot.
We also learned that they are willing to trade a first-round pick for a player like Chiarot. On the side of their best prospects, they have: Klim Kostin, offensive defenseman Scott Perunovich, goalie Joel Hofer, forward Zachary Bolduc and forward Jake Neighbors.
