Trade Rumors Increase for Canadiens' Armia
Joel Armia presents an intriguing situation for the Montreal Canadiens. Earlier, it was suggested the Canadiens were looking to trade him in the offseason; however, his $3.4 million cap hit posed a challenge. Beginning the year in the minors, Armia has now been thrust back into the spotlight.
There's increasing speculation that the Habs are looking to move him to another team.

Armia's Strong AHL Performance
Armia has been turning heads with his performances in the AHL. The Canadiens hope the see him bring the same intensity. The hope is that he'll justify his cap hit during his time with the main squad.
