Elliotte Friedman Reveals What the Canadiens Would Need to Pay to Land Jordan Kyrou

Numerous highly credible and well-informed sources all confirm that he is the number one priority for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton at the moment.

We know the Blues want to trade Kyrou, we know the Canadiens want to acquire him, and we know Kyrou wants to play in Montreal.

The last question remaining is.. what's the price?

On that subject, arguably the best insider in the entire National Hockey League, Elliotte Friedman, has just made some interesting revelations.

That gives a very good idea of what the Montreal Canadiens would need to give up to get Kyrou (something equivalent to the 8th overall pick).

I repeat this often, but when an insider like Elliotte Friedman makes a statement like that, it's never said randomly or without reason.

Knowing this, it's clear that a player like Michael Hage would be a solid starting point in the discussion, and it's very likely that he's one of the pieces the Blues are asking for in return for Kyrou. But is Kent Hughes ready to go that far?

Would it be a mistake to trade a young talent like Hage?

It will be really interesting to watch-especially after what Jeff Gorton just said.

We're in for a wild NHL summer!
