The name of Jordan Kyrou continues to surface in trade rumours involving the Montreal Canadiens.
Recent injuries to Kaiden Guhle, Alex Newhook, and Kirby Dach may end up forcing Kent Hughes to act quickly to find reinforcements up front, but if he had accepted one of the St. Louis Blues' requests this summer, the Canadiens' general manager likely wouldn't be in this position.
On a recent episode of the Pool Cast podcast from the HABSolumentFan team, Tony Marinaro was the guest, and several topics related to the Canadiens' current situation were discussed.

One of the topics covered was the possibility of Jordan Kyrou coming to Montreal, and Marco Normandin provided new information, suggesting it came very close to happening. However, Blues general manager Doug Armstrong had a particular request for Kent Hughes.
Here is Normandin's explanation:
"According to my information, the trade that brought forward Zachary Bolduc to Montreal in exchange for Logan Mailloux was originally much larger and also involved Kyrou. However, the two teams were unable to agree on the price for the forward and ultimately decided to stick with Bolduc and Mailloux.
Still according to my information, the price to acquire Kyrou would have been defenseman Kaiden Guhle, which GM Kent Hughes refused."

We know the Canadiens organization values Kaiden Guhle greatly and considers him one of the pillars of their defense. However, he will once again be sidelined for an extended period because of an injury requiring surgery.
But Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton could not have predicted, during the offseason, that the young left-shot defenseman would get hurt again after playing only five games.
Would you have accepted this trade involving Logan Mailloux, Kaiden Guhle, Zachary Bolduc, and Jordan Kyrou?
