We mentioned this over the past few days, but a journalist from Pittsburgh reported that he was told a trade has already been negotiated between the Canadiens and the Penguins, a trade involving Kris Letang.
This journalist is Mark Madden, and he adds that these discussions took place at Letang's request.
Kris Letang: A Pittsburgh radio host says he requested a trade to Montreal
But that's not all.
Madden wonders if negotiations could eventually resume between Montreal and Pittsburgh because Kristopher Letang reportedly specifically asked to finish his career at home, wearing the Canadiens' uniform.
If the Penguins miss the playoffs and the Canadiens are in the thick of the race in 2025, could it happen?
Now that the Montreal Canadiens have acquired Patrik Laine, it could be possible, and clearly, this will pique the curiosity of players like Letang.
After all, this statement from Mark Madden is not surprising.
Renaud Lavoie, a journalist for TVA Sports, had already given serious hints, mentioning how much he was looking forward to seeing Kris Letang play for the Montreal Canadiens.
Renaud Lavoie is eager to see Kristopher Letang in the Canadiens' colors.
Lavoie even had a podcast with Letang, and he knows him very well.
No, he wasn't saying that randomly.
It's worth mentioning that Letang is originally from Montreal.
