Two Kirby Dach-Style Trade Opportunities Emerge for the Canadiens
Even though the Montreal Canadiens are showing great progress, Kent Hughes remains committed to improving his team.
According to insider David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period, we shouldn't rule out the possibility of the Canadiens' general manager attempting another trade similar to the Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook acquisitions in the coming months.
It could even happen in the next few weeks!
«Kent Hughes has made it known that he wants to make another trade of this kind, ideally before the trade deadline. But if that doesn't happen, he will explore other options at the NHL Draft and throughout the summer.
He is willing to part with some draft picks and prospects to help strengthen his team for both the present and the future.»

As we know, Hughes acquired both young forwards in exchange for draft picks, and the Canadiens currently have several picks in their bank. Pagnotta has identified two young forwards who could be available on the trade market.
Trevor Zegras and Casey Mittelstadt linked to the Montreal Canadiens by David Pagnotta
Here's what he had to say:
«Potential names to watch include Trevor Zegras, who was seriously linked to the Canadiens over the summer, and Casey Mittelstadt from the Colorado Avalanche, who might need a change of scenery-or any other young forward in need of a fresh start. You name it, and Kent Hughes will be in those discussions.»

It's quite interesting to see these two players connected to the Canadiens, especially Trevor Zegras, as many articles have already been written about him.
After a very promising start in the NHL, the Anaheim Ducks' 2019 first-round pick has seen a significant drop in point production over the past two seasons, and a change of scenery could be very beneficial for him.
The same goes for Casey Mittelstadt, who, after showing strong development in Buffalo, has seen his production dip slightly since joining the Colorado Avalanche organization.
