Real Reason Christian Dvorak Hasn't Been Traded by the Canadiens Yet Has Just Been Revealed
We know that forward Christian Dvorak is a very close friend of young Cole Caufield, and he is highly valued within the organization.
However, the "hockey" aspect makes him inevitably a player likely to be traded by the Canadiens sooner rather than later.
So, despite all the speculation over recent months, why hasn't Dvorak been traded yet?
Elliotte Friedman shares new information about a potential trade involving Christian Dvorak
According to the reputable hockey insider, it's Dvorak's actual base salary that complicates matters and explains why he hasn't been traded yet, even though teams like the Nashville Predators are desperately seeking help at center.
»7. Other notes involving a center: what complicates Christian Dvorak's situation is that his real salary for 2024-25 is too high-$5.75M ($4.45M cap hit). When that amount becomes clearer as the season progresses, we'll see where things stand.» - Elliotte Friedman
Kent Hughes simply needs to wait and remain patient.
Dvorak, 28, has tallied 7 points in 19 games this season, after collecting 9 points in 30 games last season.
Over his NHL career, he has registered 223 points in 471 games to date.
Ideally, if Kent Hughes truly wants to find a new home for his center, he will likely have to retain part of his salary.
If it were your decision, what would you do?
