The Hockey News : Three Habs players placed on trade market and one surprise

According to The Hockey News, no fewer than three players from the Montreal Canadiens have recently been placed on the trade market and could potentially change teams.

In recent weeks, several rumors have circulated about Canadiens players. Among the names that frequently come up in trade rumors are Christian Dvorak, Joel Armia, Justin Barron, and Jordan Harris.

However, according to The Hockey News, two other Montreal Canadiens players might also be available on the trade market, including one name that is particularly surprising.

This information was revealed in the last few hours.

In the case of Jordan Harris, we mentioned him earlier, and it makes sense due to the surplus of defensemen in Montreal. Jordan Harris could easily join almost any team as a third-pair defenseman and do the job effectively.

As for David Savard, it's less common to see his name come up. In reality, it's not that surprising, given his contract situation. However, the name that surprises the most here is definitely Jake Evans.

Capable of playing as a third or fourth-line center for the Canadiens, he has consistently shown that he can neutralize the opponent's best offensive players thanks to his skating and defensive play.

Appreciated by coach Martin St-Louis, Jake Evans plays his role perfectly. His salary is favorable in the context of the salary cap, and he could easily take Christian Dvorak's spot if a trade were to occur.

At 28 years old, Jake Evans recorded 28 points in 82 games last season, with a plus/minus of -1. The team struggled, finishing 28th in the overall standings.

Do you think he could be sacrificed by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton?

Here is the complete list of players most likely to leave the club in the coming months, as compiled by our colleagues at Marqueur.com:

In your opinion, which of the names mentioned above will no longer be with the Montreal Canadiens in 12 months?

Jake Evans and David Savard play important roles in the Canadiens' rebuild, while Christian Dvorak, Joel Armia, Michael Pezzetta, and Justin Barron have interesting value for certain teams that will be playoff contenders in a few months. It all depends on the price and what Kent Hughes is planning.
