The Montreal Canadiens are gearing up for potential trades as the season progresses. Key candidates like Joel Armia and Jake Evans are likely to attract mid-round picks or even first-round offers, respectively. David Savard might yield a second-round pick, while Josh Anderson, with two years left at $5.5 million, could draw interest depending on the return, especially if it doesn’t require extra assets.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are on the lookout for depth. After adding John Klingberg, they might seek further blue-line reinforcement, particularly a left-handed defenseman due to concerns about injury depth. Additionally, a bottom-six forward is also a priority. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' usage will influence their decisions, with names like Jordan Greenway coming up in discussions.
