Marco Rossi traded to the Canadiens? Last-minute development
The renowned journalist David Pagnotta has just made an intriguing statement involving forward Marco Rossi and the Montreal Canadiens.
He clearly believes that Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras are very plausible options for the Canadiens on the trade market, but he added a new name.
We are on the lookout for this information because, let's remember, Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook were not heavily linked to the Canadiens before their respective acquisitions.
There were a few articles linking Dach and Newhook to the Canadiens, but not much more than that.
It was more a name like Pierre-Luc Dubois that attracted all the attention, so don't be surprised if, once again this year, Kent Hughes pulls a rabbit out of his hat.
While everyone is talking about Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras, don't be surprised if the Canadiens' general manager turns instead to a Cole Perfetti, a Jack Quinn... or a Marco Rossi!
