And say what you will about Renaud Lavoie, although personally, I respect him a lot, but he's a genuine friend of Kris Letang and even hosted a podcast with the Penguins defenseman.
When he said, I can't wait to see Letang with the Montreal Canadiens, rest assured, he wasn't saying that by chance. He knew what he was talking about.
In short, since then, many fans have been dreaming of seeing Letang wear the uniform of his childhood team.
News about a possible trade involving Kris Letang
While the most recent reports suggested that Letang would finish his career in Pittsburgh, things seem to have changed with the Penguins' catastrophic start to the season.
According to a recent report by the reputable outlet The Athletic, Kristopher Letang may no longer be opposed to a trade.
And if he is traded, the logical destination seems to be Montreal.
»Kris Letang may not be opposed to a trade, but moving his contract could be an issue for the Penguins.» - The Athletic
This statement suggests that Letang's value, what it would take to acquire him, might not be very high due to his contract.
Letang's contract expires at the end of the 2027-28 season, when he will be 41 years old. His salary is $6.1 million per season for the next three years.
So, what do you think? Should the Montreal Canadiens add Kris Letang to their roster?
