We have an interesting development for the Montreal Canadiens on the NHL trade market, and it comes from the well-known Jeff Marek.
We mentioned it last week - there was a serious rumor circulating that the excellent centerman Jared McCann might be available in a trade.
Well, it's now confirmed!
Confirmed: Jared McCann is indeed available on the trade market, and the Montreal Canadiens finally have another option
For the past few weeks, as Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have been actively looking to add help down the middle via trade, the same names have kept coming up - and they just haven't worked out.

That must be music to the ears of the Canadiens' front office, because McCann is a really solid player.
Jared McCann, 29 years old, is a 6-foot-1, 191-pound center. He's a very well-rounded player and has put up strong numbers - 61, 62, and 70 points in each of the last three seasons.
In 2022-23, he scored 40 goals in 79 games - just imagine!
