The Canadiens' Silent Trade Deadline: What Happened?
The Canadiens' Silent Trade Deadline: What Happened? When the NHL trade deadline passed, the Montreal Canadiens had made no moves — despite teams around them in the standings improving their rosters. In this episode, we break down deadline day from a Canadiens perspective, including the long wait after 3:00 p.m., comments from GM Kent Hughes, and what it means that rivals like the Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, New York Islanders, and Columbus Blue Jackets made moves while Montreal stood pat. Was this disciplined patience… or a missed opportunity in a tight playoff race? ⭐️Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/U4nSSuA1y6Q?si=h0RSnnahmioIPjWg DraftKings Pick 6 Promo Code: THPN https://tinyurl.com/DKP6THPN Got a question or comment?
