The team is back in the playoff picture, which could allow Kent Hughes to attract a top-tier free agent to Montreal next summer.
With the contracts of David Savard, Christian Dvorak, and Joel Armia set to expire, the Canadiens' GM will have cap space, and there's a player who has recently shown interest in joining the Canadiens via free agency.
As reported by the site HABSolumentFan, Nikolaj Ehlers is very interested in signing a contract with the Montreal Canadiens.
In fact, according to reputable insider Frank Seravalli, Nikolaj Ehlers will be a free agent at the end of this season and has shown interest in signing with the Habs.
Additionally, during the Canadiens' last visit to Winnipeg in December, Patrik Laine gifted his former Jets teammate an autographed Canadiens jersey.
The two have become very close since their years together in Winnipeg, and this could be a sign that the Jets forward might eventually become a member of the Montreal Canadiens.
This is an interesting piece of information, as it is increasingly rare to see unrestricted free agents show interest in playing in a Canadian market.
A first-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2014, the Danish forward is having an excellent 2024-2025 season, with 38 points in 38 games so far.
