David Pagnotta Reveals Which Two Canadiens Players Are Most Likely to be Traded Next
The Montreal Canadiens have been playing well in recent times, and now an insider has singled out two veterans that could be traded by GM Kent Hughes next.
With an infusion of young talent and the return of Patrik Laine, the Montreal Canadiens are 6-1-0 in their last seven games, and with their young core taking huge steps forward, the team may finally be reaching the end of their rebuild.
Unsurprisingly though, as this team still sits on the outside looking in at a Stanley Cup Playoffs spot, they are likely to move on from some of their veterans as they put more and more responsibility on their young core.
Now, Insider David Pagnotta has revealed which two veterans are most likely to be moved ahead of the trade deadline, and the names certainly shouldn't surprise anyone that has paid attention to this team in 2024/25.
This will open up spots for even more young talent to come through the organization, and with another two draft picks in the first-round of the 2025 NHL Draft, there's a path forward for this team to continue their impressive rebuild and become one of the NHL's hottest teams in the coming years.
We've seen reports that link Montreal to moving Savard all season long, and with Matheson playing a very steady game, he could be the perfect candidate for a contending team needing help on the blue line.
The Canadiens have been one of the most active teams in the NHL over the past few trade deadlines, so don't be surprised if they listen to offers on more than just Savard and Matheson, but for now, keep a close eye on those two as the Canadiens young core continues to ascend.
