RUMOR: Boston Bruins Closing In On Deal For Top Canadiens Forward

According to an insider, the Montreal Canadiens are deep in trade talks for one of their top players with none other than their biggest rivals, the Boston Bruins.

Major Rumor: Habs to Trade Top Player to Rival?

The Montreal Canadiens likely won't make the playoffs this year, despite great efforts in the last few games against top teams like the Oilers and Avalanche.


Kent Hughes, the Habs' general manager, has always made interesting moves with his assets, and it could happen once again this year.

One of the Canadiens' top players, Sean Monahan, could be on the trade market.

Eklund said that the Boston Bruins talked with the Habs about him:

Taking a Look at Sean Monahan's Value

If the Habs decide to trade him, they could get an interesting return. His great skills, experience, and leadership, added to his cap-friendly contract of $2 million AAV ending this year, could play an important role with a team looking to make a splash in the playoffs.

However, Eklund added that Monahan's health issues in recent years, even if he remained healthy this season, will influence his value. He also shared that the Kings, Panthers, Red Wings, and Devils could be interested in the veteran.


Hughes confirmed in a recent press conference that Monahan could be traded before March 8th, but the possibility to sign a contract ahead of the deadline remains.

What do you think the Habs should do with Monahan?
