Canadiens Quickly Shut Down Kirby Dach Trade Rumors After Friedman Linked Him to The Penguins
In recent hours, the name of Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach has been linked to the Pittsburgh Penguins in trade rumors.
It all started when the reputable Elliotte Friedman suggested that he could see the Penguins being interested in Dach on the trade market.

A statement that snowballed but was quickly shutdown.
Patrick Friolet shares information directly from the Montreal Canadiens regarding Kirby Dach
In the past few minutes, the RDS journalist went to the source, and here's what he had to say:
They believe in him, and he is part of the team's plans.» - Patrick Friolet
That should settle the matter, at least for now.
Dach, only 23 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 221-pound forward who has accumulated 8 points in 20 games this season in Montreal.
The third overall pick by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2019, acquired by the Canadiens in 2022, still has excellent potential, but many observers are eager to see him reach the next level.
It's worth mentioning that he only played two games last season. (2 points)
And you, what would you do if it were your decision?
This will be an interesting story to follow, and Friedman's comment (which has taken on significant proportions) has ultimately allowed us to learn that the Canadiens have absolutely no intention of trading Dach.
They still believe in him, and quite honestly, I think that's absolutely the right decision for now.
The season is still relatively young.
