Canadiens Rumors: Montreal Ready To Make a Big Move?
Despite their best efforts to land top talent, including a strong pursuit of 2023 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault, the Canadiens fell short as Marchessault chose to sign with the Nashville Predators.
With most of the top free agents now signed, the Canadiens are turning their attention to the trade market to address their needs.

Armed with a wealth of draft picks and promising young defensemen, Montreal is well-positioned to pursue high-impact trades. Recent rumors have linked the Canadiens to Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Nečas and Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras, both of whom could provide the offensive depth they need, as noted by Richardson.
With a strong core of young talent already in place, including Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovský, Kirby Dach, and Alex Newhook, adding an established top-six forward through a trade could significantly enhance Montreal's scoring punch and elevate them as a competitive force in the 2024-25 season.
