As we all anxiously await the official announcement of the trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames:
And possibly another trade made by Kent Hughes:
The excellent Dan Kramer explains the possible reasons why it's taking so long:
"Reasons this could be taking so long:
- Habs evaluating Monahan medical docs.
- Monahan's No Trade Clause details.

And there you have it! So we're still waiting, but stay tuned, we'll keep you updated by the second.
