The Montreal Canadiens remain active in trade discussions as they field calls about their unrestricted free agents (UFAs) while still in the playoff hunt. With a notable interest in acquiring young, controllable forwards, the Canadiens are considering trading players like Jake Evans, David Savard, Joel Armia, and Christian Dvorak.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Canadiens are focused on enhancing their forward depth and potency. They aim to leverage their draft picks and young assets, such as Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook, to secure promising players who can contribute both now and in the future.
