Now that the Montreal Canadiens have proven they can qualify for the playoffs, it becomes one more argument to attract players. Montreal could become a prime destination for veterans who absolutely want to make the playoffs, like Ryan O'Reilly.
In fact, in an article published in La Presse, journalist Mathias Brunet shared a few suggestions for centers the Montreal Canadiens could target this summer.
We know that Kent Hughes is aiming to acquire a center to play on the second line, and among the names proposed by the veteran journalist is Ryan O'Reilly.
Could he make a difference in a future Canadiens playoff run?
Could he be a quality reinforcement as early as next season?

Predators GM Barry Trotz mentioned the word "rebuild" a few months ago.
To bring O'Reilly to Montreal, Brunet says he'd be willing to part with Logan Mailloux and a second-round pick.
"Ryan O'Reilly has two years left on his contract in Nashville.
He's 34 years old.
He's putting up decent numbers with 41 points in 61 games.
He's mostly an undeniable leader. But the Predators will likely be greedy nonetheless.
A first-round pick for his services would be a waste.
Logan Mailloux and a second-round pick to fill a hole for a year or two?"

I don't hate the idea, especially since it would fill a clear and obvious need for the Canadiens, as we saw against the Washington Capitals in particular.
