Montreal Canadiens general manager, Marc Bergevin, is looking to trade for a skilled forward. Bergevin believes his team can win a Stanley Cup with the addition of an offensive threat.

CTV's Brian Wilde confirms that the Canadiens are aggressively pursuing disgruntled Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin, who publicly demanded a trade from the Lightning.

Bringing in a player of Drouin's draft pedigree, who happens to be French Canadian, would be seen as a huge move for the Habs. Drouin would instantly make the franchise more money with his marketability.

The Lightning want two Canadiens prospects in return, namely Jarred Tinordi, Michael McCarron or Nikita Sherbak.
