Rumor: Golden Knights & Canadiens Finalizing Trade


Does anybody remember the last time the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens made a trade? In September of 2018 Max Pacioretty was dealt from the Canadiens to the Golden Knights in exchange for Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki, and a 2nd round draft pick. The two teams are close to finalizing a deal that would add depth to the Golden Knights' back end.

Per Elliotte Friedman on the latest 31 Thoughts podcast, the Montreal Canadiens are prepared to move defenseman Jeff Petry before the deadline. They will make a decision to move him when they have decided if they're playoff contenders or not, but math is not their friend at the moment. The Vegas Golden Knights are looking to add to their shallow defensive line-up before the deadline. They currently hold the 2nd wildcard position and are seeking some assistance to elevate in the standings.

What should Marc Bergevin expect as a return for Jeff Petry?
