As you know, there are two Canadian teams that have been performing in the NHL this summer and they are the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens.

Both organizations have been very active, especially in the trade market. They even concluded some transactions together, including the one involving Sean Monahan.

Another possible trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames?

According to Sportsnet's Eric Francis and Elliotte Friedman, it would seem that GM Brad Treliving's shopping spree is not over and we know that Kent Hughes' is not.

Remember that the CH general manager recently told a press conference that he is looking to acquire a right-handed defenseman. Well, the Flames do have a surplus of defensemen and they would absolutely be open to sacrificing one of them in a transaction soon.

So, in summary, we have:

- The Montreal Canadiens who have a surplus of forwards and would like to add a defenseman by the start of the season.

- The Calgary Flames who have a surplus of defensemen and would like to add a forward by the beginning of the season.

Let's also remember that the general managers of the CH and the Flames seem to appreciate the fact of concluding trades together.

There could clearly be a fit for another trade. Here are just the Flames' right-handed defensemen who are capable of playing:

- Rasmus Andersson
- Chris Tanev
- Nikita Zadorov
- Mackenzie Weegar
- Oliver Kylington

One of them could be a target for Kent Hughes, in exchange for a forward like Mike Hoffman, Christian Dvorak, Evgeni Dadonov and co.

It's something to keep an eye on between now and the start of the season. In any case, it seems to make sense:

Still according to the two journalists, Treliving would indeed like to add a striker, in order to give more bite to his attack.
