Let me say this right away - it comes from the insider "El Cloun," who, yes, is absolutely a reliable source.
"First of all, who is El Cloun?
He's an insider who has been active in the field for over a decade and has always insisted on remaining anonymous, as he doesn't seek attention or money in exchange for his information.
Well-known in the community, he has several scoops to his name.
Notably, he was the only one to reveal the details of the trade between the Canadiens and Avalanche for Alex Newhook before it became public."
He has a very strong track record, and some even suspect he is (or was) within the Canadiens organization, which would explain his insistence on staying anonymous.
Anyway, here we go.
A rumor suggests there's a deal on the table between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers for centerman Vincent Trocheck
That's what has been reported by several sources, including El Cloun.
