Major Announcement Regarding Christian Dvorak, Explaining why the Forward was Not Traded by the CH Management Team
Given that the Montreal Canadiens already have several centers in their roster and Christian Dvorak's no-move clause came into effect on July 1st, there were many rumors about a potential trade involving the 28-year-old forward.
However, General Manager Kent Hughes was unable to conclude a transaction involving Dvorak, which disappointed many Montreal fans.
Important information has just been revealed about Christian Dvorak, thus explaining why no trade took place. Contrary to what was mentioned in March, the CH forward will have to undergo major knee surgery and apparently will not be ready for the start of the 2023-2024 season.
"Arpon Basu suggests that Dvorak might not be ready for training camp. In fact, he could miss weeks at the start of the regular season."
Knowing that Christian Dvorak's value was already relatively low, it is understandable that no team agreed to acquire him due to his injury, which could cause him to miss several games next season.
Martin St-Louis will have to make significant decisions when Christian Dvorak returns to the lineup. It is very possible that players like Kirby Dach, Alex Newhook, or even Sean Monahan could be utilized on the wing.
