Trade request made by Kris Letang to the Montreal Canadiens: last-minute update
Following the major statement by Pittsburgh journalist Mark Madden, Kris Letang's name has resurfaced with the Montreal Canadiens.
Earlier this week, we discussed Madden's statement, where he revealed that a trade involving Kris Letang was negotiated between the Canadiens and the Penguins, at Letang's request.

The full excerpt is also very interesting.
It will be fascinating to see if these discussions can resume, especially if the Pittsburgh Penguins miss the playoffs again in 2025 and if the Montreal Canadiens are in contention.
