The Canadiens have several good defensemen, and the draft is also strong in defensemen. Hughes thus has the option to trade a promising defenseman for a talented forward and then select a defenseman.
Guhle for Zegras trade: the fans have spoken
At the end of our article, we asked you the same question, whether you would prefer a duo of Kaiden Guhle and Cayden Lindstrom, or Trevor Zegras and Sam Dickinson.
The response is quite strong in favor of keeping Guhle, with 75% of the 500 respondents wanting to keep number 21 in Montreal.
Guhle is a very good defenseman, but his numerous concussions are a concern. However, the fans still have enough confidence in him to refuse trading him for Trevor Zegras.
