Big trade between two Canadian teams is currently trending online
Brendan Gallagher is off to a surprisingly solid start this season, scoring four goals in 12 games. His great performance, coupled with his health � a pleasant deviation from recent years� is drawing attention.
The Right Time to Trade Gallagher Out of Montreal?
Remarkably, he's on track to reach 27 goals and 49 points over an 82-game season, which could rank as his third-highest career total. This is stirring speculation that it might be an good moment for a trade, given his enhanced value.
To facilitate such a move, the Canadiens might have to take on an unfavorable contract. Max Van Houtte shared a trade scenario on social media.
Proposed trade:
To Montreal (MTL): Jonathan Huberdeau.
To Calgary (CGY): Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson.
To Montreal (MTL): Jonathan Huberdeau.
To Calgary (CGY): Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson.
It raises an intriguing point. Huberdeau has the potential to be a top-tier player, but his recent performance and hefty contract extending to 2031 are concerning.
Huberdeau's Contract: The Worst in the Salary Cap Era?
Van Houtte's take is that Montreal might be hesitant:
MTL probably says no, I love Huby, but his contract looks like one of the worst of the salary cap era right now; it seems like wishful thinking that a simple change of team would fix it.
W have to agree here. Huberdeau's contract could become a real pain for the Canadiens, particularly if his form doesn't improve.
