Rumor: Jeff Skinner to Montreal Canadiens

The Carolina Hurricanes are looking to trade 2011 Calder trophy winner, Jeff Skinner.
The forward notched 18 goals and 13 assists for a total of 31 points in 77 games last season. After his disappointing season, the Hurricanes are looking to move Skinner for prospects and draft picks.

The Calgary Flames were interested but are unwilling to give up multiple picks or prospects. The Winnipeg Jets are another team interested in Skinner, but the Jets don't want to give up picks or prospects for a risky move.

It's down to the Montreal Canadiens. Even though they acquired Alexander Semin this past week, the Canadiens can't pass up the opportunity to acquire the younger and more talented goal scorer, Jeff Skinner.
