The Ideal Trade Between the Canadiens and Predators Is Shaping Up
Photo credit: Montreal Hockey Now
Sometimes, a trade naturally takes shape between two teams, and that's what might happen between the Montreal Canadiens and Nashville.
We have Frank Seravalli reporting that the Predators are seriously exploring the trade market to acquire a third or fourth-line center.
At the same time as confirming this information, Seravalli added that the Montreal Canadiens are looking for a right-handed defenseman and that the Predators might trade Alexandre Carrier.

A trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Nashville Predators involving Alexandre Carrier and Christian Dvorak?
Do you like the idea?

Do you think a Dvorak-for-Carrier one-for-one trade could be something of interest for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens?
A young player like Owen Beck could possibly replace Dvorak at center eventually.
Christian Dvorak, 28 years old, has 8 points in 24 games this season and is signed at $4.45 million per year until 2025.
Alexandre Carrier, 28 years old, is a Quebec-born right-handed defenseman with 6 points in 25 games this season.
He earns $3.75 million per year until 2027.
Personally, I believe Carrier would currently be more useful to the Canadiens than Dvorak, but the additional term on his contract is a major obstacle to his acquisition.
With identical contracts, however, I would have opted for the defenseman.
