We're less than a week away from the NHL trade deadline, and trade rumors about the Canadiens will continue to fill the sports news in Quebec until then.
Since Sean Monahan's move to Winnipeg, there's been speculation about what Kent Hughes will do this year to continue his rebuilding work with the Canadiens, as there's curiosity about who will be the next player from the organization to leave Montreal.
There has been a lot of talk about various rumors regarding Jake Allen's potential departure. As reported by Cédrick Gervais from Marqueur.com, another CH player might be on his way out.
According to information gathered by David Pagnotta, Joel Armia is garnering increasingly more attention on the current trade market, and he has even identified a team with which the Finnish forward would be a good fit.
« Armia at 1.7M for two seasons [50% of the salary retained] would actually be a good addition for a team looking for a player who excels in puck possession. He could be an interesting option to add depth to the bottom 6.
Boston seems to be the ideal place for Armia in my opinion. »
Interesting!
As we know, the Bruins are still among the top teams in the NHL this year, and it's evident that Don Sweeney will want to add depth to his team.
Pagnotta even suggests that Kent Hughes could receive an interesting return, as Armia is currently playing good hockey, but it will likely require the Canadiens' GM to retain a significant portion of his salary until the end of his contract, which expires in the summer of 2025.
Story to follow.
