MAJOR: Three-Team Trade Involving the Canadiens Emerges

With the recent announcement about Christian Dvorak, who will be out for the rest of the season, a major opportunity has arisen at the negotiation table for Kent Hughes.

Renowned insider David Pagnotta has revealed that something very significant could happen with the Canadiens, thanks to the fact that the team will benefit from a $4.45 million relief on the salary cap for the remainder of the campaign.

This means that the Canadiens' General Manager will be able to easily engage in a significant trade, whether it's to take on a problematic contract or retain a portion of a high salary in exchange for a significant contribution.

According to Pagnotta, the Canadiens are a team to watch for a three-team trade by March 8th.

If there's one thing clear about Hughes' management, it's his ability to capitalize on his salary cap space. He demonstrated this with the Sean Monahan trade in 2022 and the Erik Karlsson transaction in the summer of 2023.

For the moment, the loss of an important asset for Martin St-Louis is an opportunity for Hughes.
