The information was confirmed by David Pagnotta.. But that's not all!

As soon as the news broke that Utah is wide open to trading their 4th overall pick, many experts immediately identified the Montreal Canadiens as a potential trade partner for the Mammoth (with the goal of selecting Caleb Desnoyers).

And now, we've just learned that Kent Hughes and the Canadiens have called in a very intriguing name for a meeting this week! That's right - none other than Caleb Desnoyers!

Could Caleb Desnoyers be the long-awaited second-line center that Montreal has been looking for?

In any case, Kent Hughes and Canadiens management are doing their homework on the Quebec-born forward, and it's clear they're interested.

This will definitely be something to watch on the trade market, because if the Canadiens want to draft Desnoyers, a trade will need to happen.
