It could continue.
It's been pretty quiet for the last couple of weeks, but if the last three or four seasons are any indication, the action could pick up very soon in the NHL.
It actually started yesterday:
Don't be surprised if we have more trades to announce soon because, historically, the month of September is full of surprises, especially for the CH.
We can think of the Nick Suzuki acquisition, the Max Pacioretty trade, the hostile offer to Jesperi Kotkaniemi, the Christian Dvorak acquisition, the Jake Allen acquisition, and there are many others.
Another major trade coming up?
Considering what has happened in September over the past few years, the situation surrounding Carey Price, and the upcoming signing of Kirby Dach, one imagines there could be some movement, on the CH, in the coming weeks.
However, there is more.
According to what IB THE GAMBLER is reporting, Kent Hughes is reportedly on track to complete another major trade in the coming weeks.
He quotes knowledgeable people here.
Is this a reliable source? Absolutely! They have released several big scoops regarding the NFL as well as the NBA, and while they rarely post exclusives in relation to the National Hockey League, when they do, they are usually right on target. The account is run by a popular New York radio host.
Considering the surplus of NHL caliber forwards and the very inexperienced defensive brigade in Montreal, this is not surprising, and will be really interesting to watch.
