While the Montreal Canadiens are undergoing a rebuilding process, their progress hasn't matched fan and management expectations. This could result in more players getting moved ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline.
Among the notable names is forward Sean Monahan, playing on an expiring deal, who might find himself traded to a contending team.
Dreger reported that Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes has an agreement in principle to trade Monahan to a Stanley Cup contender ahead of the March 8th deadline. The agreement apparently dates back to the offseason when Monahan signed a one-year contract with the Canadiens, outlining a plan to trade him to a contending team or a team of his choice when the time is right.
In the current season, Monahan has contributed 11 goals and 14 assists in 40 games. Dreger highlighted that there is always a demand for centermen, and potential destinations for Monahan include teams like Colorado, Boston, Edmonton, or Washington if they remain in contention.
