As reported by Marc-Olivier Cook from the site Danslescoulisses.com, some experts have already released a list of players who are most likely to be traded in the coming weeks, and on one of these lists, we find a member of the Canadiens.
Insider Frank Seravalli has published over the past few days on the site Dailyfaceoff.com the top 10 players who will definitely be a target for NHL teams approaching the March 8 deadline, a list that you can consult by clicking on this link.
At the top, we find Calgary Flames forward Elias Lindholm, and right after him, there is Sean Monahan.
It's not a surprise to find the name of the Canadiens forward on this list because since the beginning of the season, number 91 has been producing at a fairly good pace but above all, he has managed to avoid the injury list.
If we remember last year, before being injured, Monahan was probably one of the best trade assets for Kent Hughes but we all know what happened next.
Moreover, with his salary of 1.9 million dollars this year, Monahan represents one of the best options on the market this year, and it's a safe bet that Kent Hughes could really get what he wants in return for his forward.
Among the other players on Seravalli's list, we find another player from the Flames, defenseman Noah Hanifin, and a certain Trevor Zegras.
However, with his recent long absence announcement, we can practically remove him from the list.
