Trade announced between the Montreal Canadiens and the Sabres this summer? A young forward and a young defenseman targeted with Jordan Harris and Peyton Krebs

Among the players Kent Hughes could potentially trade next summer is defenseman Jordan Harris, who may have difficulty securing a spot among the team's regular defensemen for the next season, due to the upcoming depth in the defensive brigade.

That said, as reported by GoNordiques.com, a well-known insider has suggested that the Canadiens' top brass is interested in a young forward who plays in the same division.

According to Marc-Olivier Beaudoin, Kent Hughes should look at what's happening with the Buffalo Sabres as Peyton Krebs finds himself in a similar situation to Jordan Harris, that is, he is the victim of an excess of young players at his position.

Acquired in the deal that sent Jack Eichel to the Vegas Golden Knights a little over two years ago, Krebs has struggled to produce this season with only 13 points in 64 games.

Somewhat like Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook over the last two years, could Peyton Krebs land in Montreal during the summer?

It remains a very interesting option, and Beaudoin has had significant support from Simon "The Snake" Boisvert, who would very much like to see the Sabres' forward in a CH uniform.

That said, the Sabres have excellent young forwards and they have already traded with the Colorado Avalanche, sending Casey Mittelstadt there in return for another young defenseman in Bowen Byram.

It remains to be seen if history will repeat itself during the summer but this time with the Canadiens as the dance partner.
