Insider Chris Johnston Shares New Details on a Potential Trade Involving Christian Dvorak
We're seeing action picking up again on the trade market involving the Montreal Canadiens.
Well-known insiders Frank Seravalli and Pierre LeBrun have recently revealed that Kent Hughes is currently active on the market.
A top-4 defenseman is indeed in his sights.
Darren Dreger even mentioned a concrete name who could be targeted by the Canadiens-a young right-handed defenseman from the Nashville Predators.
That said, there are also Canadiens players who might be on the chopping block.
According to a recent report from TSN's Chris Johnston, Christian Dvorak is a name to keep an eye on as a potential trade candidate.
Could a Montreal Canadiens Trade Involving Christian Dvorak Be in the Works?
Some teams are reportedly interested in acquiring him for a specific role.
Also according to Johnston, Kent Hughes could take advantage of the limited number of centers available on the trade market this year, which could facilitate a Dvorak trade.
In any case, he is on Hughes' «short list» of players likely to be moved before the trade deadline, sitting in sixth position.

He's thus among the top 6 NHL players most likely to be traded.
Among interested teams, the Nashville Predators are looking to acquire a center, though it's unclear if Dvorak would fully meet their needs.
In short, it's a story to watch, especially coming from a well-connected insider like Chris Johnston.
