Insider Reveals the Two Least Likely Canadiens Players to Return Next Year
There are currently several negotiations happening on the NHL trade market, and the Montreal Canadiens are inevitably involved.
Kent Hughes has several players to trade, players whose contracts expire at the end of this season, and it will be very interesting to watch the decisions made in the coming weeks.
Several names are circulating in different rumors, and all the top insiders confirm that Kent Hughes is active on the phone, as we have been reporting for the past few days.
Specifically, we can think of Jake Evans, David Savard, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Michael Pezzetta, and Lucas Condotta.
However, insider David Pagnotta has indeed highlighted two particular names who are likely in their final season with the Canadiens.
The final season for Joel Armia and Christian Dvorak with Martin St-Louis' squad?
Among all the names circulating in rumors, these two are indeed the most likely to leave sooner or later.
As Pagnotta mentions, don't expect to see Armia and Dvorak in the lineup next September.
«Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, Jake Evans, Michael Pezzetta, and Lucas Condotta are all set to become unrestricted free agents this summer.
Among them, it seems unlikely that Armia and Dvorak will return next season, and they are considered prime candidates to be traded before the March 7 trade deadline.»
David Pagnotta
An outcome that seems inevitable for these two forwards.
And if it were your decision, who would be the first Canadiens player you'd trade?
Details will follow, but it promises to be fascinating to see the work Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton accomplish by March 7.
