Sean Monahan in Bruins scenes?

The NHL mid-season is fast approaching, and already, trade rumors are growing all over the Bettman circuit.

Montreal Canadiens employees are sure to be paying attention by February 20, 2023.

What decisions will Kent Hughes make in the files of Jonathan Drouin, Sean Monahan, Joel Edmondson, and Evgeny Dadonov, among others, who will all post free agent status without compensation at the end of the current campaign?

“Sean Monahan is getting attention,” analyst Yvonne Bedeno said for the first time.

“I’ve been told that the Boston Bruins are currently in the Monahan case.”

Several other teams might be tempted to get him. Sean Monahan is an interesting candidate for a charter player.

“The location of the center is always very desirable at this time of year.”

Alexis Lafreniere’s profile

New York Rangers coach Gerard Gallant did not fail to fuel the rumor machine by excluding Quebec side Alexis Lafrenière on Thursday night.

From the press gallery at Amalie Arena, the Rangers’ first overall pick of 2020 saw their teammates lose 2-1 in a shootout at the expense of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

“The player chosen first in the aggregate who finds himself in the stands, and that raises several questions,” according to Bidnault.

Alexis Lafrenière is not as strong a forward as Rangers seem to claim, but he is a passer.

“Rangers will be looking for the services of Patrick Keane. Could Lafreniere be a hook?”

A call from the Hab?

Did Jeff Gorton call GM in New York about Lafreniere? It should be remembered that Gorton, currently employed by CH, was the big boss of the Rangers when Quebec was selected in 2020.

“Chicago Blackhawks Joe Sakic’s target could be Jonathan Toews”.

“The Vancouver Canucks will have to decide if it’s time for a facelift.”

Habs sure Kirby Dash is a quarterback? If we’re not sure who’s among the Canadiens’ captains, we can ask about Bo Horvat in Vancouver.
