In recent days, major news hit the trade market as the Dallas Stars are reportedly open to trading Jason Robertson.
We're talking about a true NHL star who has recorded 80 points in each of the last two seasons, and a massive 109 points in 2022-23, including 46 goals.
He's an outstanding player, and it's no surprise he's fueling the dreams of many Montreal Canadiens fans.

Is there a real opportunity here for Kent Hughes?
