Who tops the trade bait boards and which players are the most likely Montreal Canadiens to change teams before the NHL trade deadline in March?
We are less than 90 days away from the NHL Trade Deadline on March 8th and the phone lines around the league are beginning to warm. In the last few weeks we have seen the Canucks send Anthony Beauvillier to Chicago and acquire Nikita Zadorov from Calgary. The Sabres acquired Eric Robinson and the Islanders picked up Robert Bortuzzo.
As teams are beginning to separate themselves into buyers and sellers, pro scouts are focusing their efforts on teams with assets to move. In past weeks, the Oilers were giving plenty of their time to watching Canadiens goaltenders.
So who tops the trade bait boards and who are the most likely Montreal Canadiens to move before the deadline?
This is the focus of this week's episode of Canadiens Connection podcast.
In addition, we provide an injury update on David Savard and look at Arber Xhekaj's transfer to Laval. And we outline the week that was for Habs prospects. We conclude the show with comments, texts, and emails from you, our loyal Canadiens Connection listeners.
