In addition to acquiring defenseman Jeff Petry and goaltender Casey DeSmith from the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Montreal Canadiens also received forward Nathan Legare.
Earlier this week, the Montreal Canadiens took part in a three-team trade which, in part, sent Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Jeff Petry back to Montreal. But one of the lesser-discussed aspects of the trade was a young forward named Nathan Legare. Who is he? And what can be expected of him while playing with the Laval Rocket this year?
Those are exactly the questions we asked and answered when Patrick Williams joined this week's episode of The Press Zone podcast, and he provided some very interesting insight on this portion of Montreal's trade package.
Plus, we also discussed some pretty high-profile, and high-scoring, veteran AHL players leaving North America this summer to play in the KHL. What impact does that have on teams in the AHL and throughout the season?
To explore these topics further, we invite you to listen to the latest edition of The Press Zone podcast, hosted by Amy Johnson. This weekly show provides Habs fans with the latest news, analysis, and commentary regarding the Laval Rocket, Canadiens prospects, and American Hockey League news.
