We have a new development on the NHL trade market involving the Vancouver Canucks - and it could have direct implications for the Montreal Canadiens.
According to the well-connected Cam Robinson, the Canucks have officially let other NHL teams know that they are actively and seriously looking to acquire a center.
Names like Jack Roslovic and
Marco Rossi have recently been linked to Vancouver - making them a direct competitor to Kent Hughes in the trade market.
The Canucks are clearly also hunting for a second-line center.
A trade battle between the Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks for a second-line center
You can safely assume they're also in the mix for names like Marco Rossi and
Mason McTavish.
Unfortunately, that kind of bidding war drives prices up.
We already suspected other teams were in the market for a second-line center, but now the Canadiens have a confirmed rival: the Vancouver Canucks.
Cam Robinson: Re Canucks: "I do think their number one priority is to bring in another player that can play the middle of the ice"
- Sekeres and Price
On a completely different note - it raises the question: Could the Canucks be interested in paying a significant price for
Kirby Dach?
It would obviously be a counterintuitive move for the Habs, but if the organization no longer fully believes in Dach's long-term potential, and Vancouver is ready to pay up..
why not at least entertain the idea?This will be a very interesting storyline to follow over the coming weeks, especially as NHL trades tend to pick back up during August.
