Renaud Lavoie Confirms a Second Specific Trade Coming for the Montreal Canadiens
In the past few hours, the rumor that had been circulating for several days was officially confirmed by the Montreal Canadiens.
Carey Price's contract has been traded to the San Jose Sharks, and everything you need to know about the deal can be found right here.
It's also worth remembering that the young 22-year-old acquired in this deal may sadly never play hockey again.
Right after the trade was announced, on BPM Sports, journalist Renaud Lavoie already confirmed that a second specific trade is coming for the Montreal Canadiens. This time involving a forward.
Renaud Lavoie confirms there will be another trade, after the Carey Price deal
Here is his exact statement, as reported by BPM Sports:
"Yes, there is going to be another trade.
We just don't have the exact date!"
- Renaud Lavoie
We just don't have the exact date!"
- Renaud Lavoie
This lines up perfectly with the buzz that has been going around for a while, and there is strong expectation of a second trade coming soon for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
A second move made possible precisely because of the cap space freed up by trading Carey Price's contract.
It's on!
And the next few days promise plenty of action!
This second trade would, of course, aim to bring in reinforcements up front, ideally a second line center.
