Wednesday March 5, at 3PM ET is the NHL trade deadline. Many fans (and players) will be anxious to learn if Habs GM Marc Bergevin will be a buyer or seller at the trade deadline. But anyone can spin any potential deal as a benefit to the club.
These are the players that might be involved should a deal go through:
Andrei Markov (D); a UFA after this season. Apparently Habs offered him a 1 year extension. Markov wants three years.
Brian Gionta (RW); a UFA after this season. Does he want to return to New Jersey after this season if he doesn’t re-sign with Montreal? Does Habs GM have Gionta on his long-term plans?
Lars Eller (C/F); after a promising start playing with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher, Eller’s play has gone downhill. People questioning his hockey IQ. But he does have up-side.
Rene Bourque (LW/RW); Bourque has two more seasons after this at $3.33M cap-hit. what you see is what you get with Bourque.
Travis Moen (LW); A Stanley Cup veteran with Anaheim, he can give a team some added depth.
Daniel Briere (C/LW); Don’t look now but Briere is making the most of his ice time scoring 11 goals in 50 games. He has one season remaining at $4.0M.
Francis Bouillon (D); The Canadiens have a backlog of defenceman in Hamilton and Bouillon could be used for depth for another team.
Louis Leblanc (F); Buried in the minors, Leblanc is a RFA after this season and could use a fresh start with another organization.
