Hughes and the Canadiens Put Four Players on the Trade Market, Including a Fan Favorite
According to information from the excellent David Pagnotta, the Montreal Canadiens have indeed placed four players on the trade market. I believe most of the names make sense, except for Jake Evans, who is truly becoming a fan favorite (and rightfully so).
Especially following the Canadiens' recent winning streak, many wondered if Kent Hughes had changed his plans. Well, Pagnotta has just provided a very clear and precise update.
The seasoned insider from TFP mentioned that four players remain available on the Montreal Canadiens' trade market.
Here's what journalist David Pagnotta specifically said:
«They have assets that remain available on the trade market, like David Savard, Christian Dvorak, Joel Armia, and even Jake Evans, who are all on contracts expiring at the end of the season and will all continue to generate interest leading up to the trade deadline.»
So, the plan hasn't really changed for Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes.
However, I wonder if the plan could actually change, especially since the Canadiens are three point away from a playoff spot.
What would you do if it were your decision and the team was truly in the playoff race by the trade deadline?
Would you sell anyway? Buy? Do nothing and let things play out?
It will be fascinating to see the next moves by the Canadiens' management team.
