"Rumours are swirling in Habs land! According to The Hockey News, the Montreal Canadiens are reportedly showing interest in former 40-goal scorer Jared McCann from the Seattle Kraken." - Tony Marinaro
Well, that's interesting! If Kent Hughes is truly showing interest in McCann, it clearly shows he is still trying to make moves up front.
The Canadiens are interested in making a trade with the Seattle Kraken to acquire Jared McCann
This is obviously according to The Hockey News, and as picked up by The Sick Podcast.
"He has all the qualities to help the CH. And he can play at center.."
This will definitely be a situation to keep an eye on.
Why would the Kraken accept to trade an excellent center who recently scored 40 goals?
Because they simply have too many centers.
In addition to Matty Beniers, Shane Wright, Chandler Stephenson, and Fred Gaudreau, they also have names like Jake O'Brien and Berkly Catton coming in for reinforcement.
Jared McCann, 29 years old, is a 6-foot-1, 191-pound forward who tallied 61 points in 82 games last season.
He scored 29 and 40 goals over the past two campaigns He is really excellent.
McCann is signed until 2027 and earns 5 million dollars per year, which is really not expensive for him!
