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.

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.

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.
