It's no secret that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have been active on the trade market recently, and here's another intriguing tidbit.

Tony revisited this interesting piece of information on BPM Sports just minutes ago.

This proposed trade, involving multiple elements, was ultimately rejected by Ottawa.
The offer came from Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's management team.
Will Armia eventually be traded by the Canadiens this season? Stay tuned.
Now 31 years old, Armia is a 6-foot-3, 216-pound forward. A first-round pick by the Buffalo Sabres in 2011, he has recorded six points in 17 games this season, including two goals. Last season, he tallied 25 points in 66 games, including 17 goals.
As his contract nears its expiration, this is certainly a situation worth monitoring.
