Montreal’s ambitious pursuit of a top-tier center hit a wall as New York protected their franchise pillar, who remains committed to the Island via his no-trade clause.

According to NHL insider Pierre LeBrun, the Montreal Canadiens called the New York Islanders with interest in forward Bo Horvat.

The Islanders said no.

TSN's Hockey Insiders have the latest on the possibility of a Morgan Rielly trade, the holdup on the Jets moving Connor Hellebuyck, a pair of Canadian teams that could be potential fits for Mason Marchment, Zach Werenski's future in Columbus, and more.

Horvat, who is entering the fourth season of an eight-year deal worth $8.5 million annually, is the Islanders' No. 1 defenseman who has a full no-trade clause and no interest in leaving town.

The 31-year-old recorded 57 points (31 goals, 26 assists) in 68 games last season, missing time with a lower-body injury.
