When a player is benched and removed from the lineup by his team to avoid injuries, it's a sign that he is really on the brink of being traded, and that's exactly what's happening right now with Quebec forward Anthony Duclair.

Everything indicates that he will soon be traded, but where?

We are not going to start rumors, but we will simply mention a fact that is rather interesting.

Duclair Wants to be Traded to Montreal

Duclair has never hidden the fact that he would really like to be traded to the CH, and he mentioned it again very recently.

To compensate for the loss of Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook, do you think it would be a good acquisition for Kent Hughes?

The price to pay is likely to be low and it could pay off big.

Duclair, 28 years old and a native of Pointe-Claire, is a 3rd round pick in 2013. He has accumulated 20 points in his last 47 games, after having collected 60 points in 2022 with the Panthers.

"Duclair has never hidden his desire to play for the Canadiens. Your opinion?"

- Jeremy Filosa
