The spotlight in Montreal shines on Brendan Gallagher as he started his season with great performance. He has seven points in just 12 games, already matching half of his last year's total, sparking conversations about his rising value on the market.
In this proposed trade, the Canadiens would also part ways with Josh Anderson. Despite a challenging season with only one point in 12 games, Anderson remains a sought-after player in the trade market, known for his speed, strength, and offensive threat.
However, it would be surprising to see such a deal happen. The financial implications of absorbing Huberdeau's contract, which is currently viewed as one of the worst in the era of the salary cap, might discourage the Canadiens to take him on, especially in return of two of their most respected leaders.
