We just heard an interesting discussion regarding a potential trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Nashville Predators.
On the airwaves of BPM Sports, Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez discussed the possibility of bringing Ryan O'Reilly to the Canadiens as a third-line center.
In this discussion, a few names were brought up, including Josh Anderson and Christian Dvorak.
Here is a transcript of the relevant excerpt:
«As a third-line center, it's not that bad.»
- Georges, talking about Ryan O'Reilly
- Georges, talking about Ryan O'Reilly
«Wait, you want him in Montreal?»
- Gonzo, talking about Ryan O'Reilly
- Gonzo, talking about Ryan O'Reilly
«What's better, O'Reilly or Dvorak?»
- Georges
- Georges
«Well, are you kidding me? Asking the question is answering it.»
- Gonzo
- Gonzo
«But Gonzo, you need an experienced center.»
- Georges
- Georges
«Okay, but who are they going to take?»
- Gonzo
- Gonzo
«No, but that's a bad contract right there.»
- Georges
- Georges
They then mention that it would require swapping one bad contract for another, and this is when the following proposal came up.
«Josh Anderson for Ryan O'Reilly, would you do it?»
- Gonzo
- Gonzo
Georges mentions that he wouldn't do it and would prefer to keep Anderson, who is currently doing a great job and is in the right spot at the moment.
We agree with him.
A Trade Between the Montreal Canadiens and the Nashville Predators Involving Ryan O'Reilly?
Watch the video in question:
Ryan O'Reilly, 33 years old, is a reliable and well-rounded center, who has accumulated 25 points in 39 games this season with the Preds.
We recently learned that he is available on the trade market, according to various reports.
Last season, he scored 69 points. His annual salary is $4.5 million per year, and he is signed through 2027.
And you, would you make this trade if you were in Kent Hughes' shoes as the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens?
