Major live trade proposal between the Habs and the Penguins involving a first round pick
As the 2023 NHL Draft approaches, it's always interesting and entertaining to put oneself in the shoes of General Manager Kent Hughes.
Using information that has been revealed in the last few hours, a trade proposal with the Pittsburgh Penguins has surfaced, and it would be live, on the floor of the 2023 Draft.
Knowing that Joel Edmundson is still officially available on the trade market, knowing it would be much easier to trade him in the off-season rather than mid-season, and knowing the Pittsburgh Penguins are very interested in Edmundson, here is the proposal.

- Joel Edmundson

Zach Benson
David Reinbacher
Gabe Perreault
Perreault has already clearly stated that he would love to be drafted by the Canadiens, and he has an extremely impressive profile:
