Breaking Down the Canucks-Canadiens Potential Mega Trade
The Canucks are rumored to be offering Andrei Kuzmenko, Nils Hoglander, and a 2024 3rd round pick. Kuzmenko currently has played 31 games, scoring 8 goals and 11 assists, totaling 19 points. Nils Hoglander, another promising talent, has contributed 10 goals and 5 assists in 34 games this season.
In return, the Canadiens are rumored to be trading Sean Monahan, Johnathan Kovacevic, and a 2025 2nd-round pick. Monahan, a crucial player for the Canadiens, has scored 9 goals and 12 assists in 34 games this season. While Kovacevic has added 4 goals and 1 assist in 33 games this season.
This trade, if it goes through, would significantly impact both teams. The Canucks would acquire Monahan’s experience and Kovacevic’s potential, adding depth to their roster. Meanwhile, the Canadiens would gain Kuzmenko’s scoring ability and Hoglander’s youth and energy, which could be vital for their rebuilding efforts.
As always with NHL trade rumors, nothing is set in stone until the deal is finalized. However, this potential trade has all the hallmarks of a season-defining moment for both the Vancouver Canucks and the Montreal Canadiens.
Awful, awful made up rumor. There is no way the Canucks would make that move. No chance.
Stop with the Monahan trades. Savard,Harris amd dvorak amd a second rd pic.
Only a mad man would make that trade
Major overpayment from the canucks if this even remotely true.
Had me til I seen hoggy… he’s not getting traded
i don’t know about that trade at all, a 1st and 2nd line winger (under team control for this year and next) plus a 3rd round pick for an aging 2nd line center on an expiring contract, a waiver wire pickup dman and a 2nd round pick doesn’t add up. Vancouver’s strength is up the middle and they currently have 7 NHL dmen with Soucy about to return from injury.
