Rumor: Avs and Habs continue to discuss blockbuster

The Colorado Avalanche and Montreal Canadiens made headlines this week when Habs GM, Marc Bergevin spent several days in Colorado. We provided you details earlier this week when it happened and it appears these discussion aren't going away.

Colorado is willing to part with a mega package to get the deal done, but it appears the Habs management team is trying to decide if this is the right move at the right time. The media backlash in Montreal will be massive regardless of what the return will be for Montreal.

Phillip Grubauer, Tyson Jost, Samuel Girard and draft picks is what the deal is believed to be centered around, but even with this massive return, selling it to Habs fans will be tough.

Some have chimed in on the fun:

Folks...sorry for delay...phone has been blowing up..thank god for my French immersion..HUGE rumor coming out of Montreal...Bergevin considering giving nuts a squeeze + turning the clock back to 1995...stay tuned folks..The #Insiderrrr is on it.

Seeing Marc Bergevin is in Denver got me thinking about potential MTL / COL trade ideas. This would be a biggie but
the more I think about it, the more I can see a Carey Price to Colorado trade making a lot of sense. Obviously, Price has no move & would have to sign off but...

Carey Price domination last night demonstrated that he is still among the best goalies in the NHL.
NOW is the time to trade Carey Price, while he has value. Habs WILL NOT make the playoffs.
Will Bumbling Bergevin drop the ball again? #gohabsgo
