Massive Three-Team Trade Looming Between the Canadiens Canucks and Capitals
The NHL trade market is heating up as we approach January and the playoff picture becomes clearer.
Journalist Elliotte Friedman has just reported a significant development, indicating that the end may be near between Andrei Kuzmenko and the Vancouver Canucks. Kuzmenko has been scratched from the lineup several times this month and has also been demoted to the fourth line, despite scoring 74 points in 81 games last season (39 goals). He still has 17 points in 29 games this season.
Essentially, the Capitals want Kuzmenko, the Canucks want to trade him, but for a deal to happen, Washington would need to give up Anthony Mantha for salary reasons. (and Vancouver doesn't have the space for that)
This is where the Montreal Canadiens could come into play, as Kent Hughes has done in the past.
This is a very good point.
The trade would look like this:
- Anthony Mantha, for this season only
- A 1st or 2nd round pick
TO VANCOUVER:
- A pick/a prospect
TO WASHINGTON:
- Andrei Kuzmenko
Personally, we would definitely do it! What about you?
