The name Caleb Desnoyers is increasingly being mentioned as a potential top-five pick in the upcoming NHL Draft.
The Moncton Wildcats forward just took part in the Memorial Cup tournament, and several NHL general managers were in attendance to scout him.
Among them was Barry Trotz of the Nashville Predators, who hold the fifth overall pick.
As reported by the site DansLesCoulisses, analyst Simon "The Snake" Boisvert responded to a suggestion from Mathias Brunet during a Patreon-exclusive episode of Processus.
A concrete trade offer between the Montreal Canadiens and the Chicago Blackhawks that would be accepted by "The Snake"
The journalist proposed to his co-host that the Canadiens trade their two first-round picks, along with two second-round picks, in exchange for the third overall pick held by the Chicago Blackhawks.
If The Snake were in Kent Hughes' shoes, he'd do it in a heartbeat!
To Montreal: 3rd overall pick
To Chicago: 16th overall pick, 17th overall pick, and two second-round picks
It's worth noting that the young Quebec forward is the top draft prospect from Quebec since Alexis Lafrenière in 2020.
Desnoyers was named MVP of the QMJHL playoffs and led the Wildcats to the Gilles-Courteau Trophy with a championship win over the Rimouski Océanic.
So, would you make that trade?
Also, as previously reported, the Utah Mammoth have placed their fourth overall pick have placed their fourth overall pick on the trade block, giving Kent Hughes another potential path to a top-5 selection.
