Trade rumor sends Christian Dvorak from Montreal Canadiens to Calgary Flames
Christian Dvorak is no longer part of the Canadiens' plans, that's pretty obvious, and Kent Hughes could have the perfect opportunity to trade him.
Indeed, according to what informant Frank Seravalli reports, the Calgary Flames are looking for a third-line center between the ages of 27 and 31, which perfectly fits Christian Dvorak's profile.

Christian Dvorak traded to the Calgary Flames?
Recall that the Calgary Flames recently put forward Jakob Pelletier on waivers. He went unclaimed and returned to the American League.
Could Kent Hughes be tempted to complete a trade to bring the Quebecer to Laval? It's important to remember that if the Canadiens had claimed him on waivers, they would have been forced to keep him in the National League for a while.
If, on the other hand, they acquire him via trade, they can send him directly to the Rocket, without having to go through waivers. That changes things a lot for the team's current plans.
Coming back to Christian Dvorak, he is a fairly complete player, who doesn't make a lot of noise, but who has the skills that Calgary is looking for.
He wins his faceoffs, he is reliable on 200 feet and he is able to collect points, as evidenced by his 217 points in 457 career games.
It seems bad or ordinary, but for a 3rd line center, it is rather interesting as a haul. A bit like Brendan Gallagher, it is his salary that does not follow his performances, but he remains a reliable player who has not been spared by injuries.
I sincerely hope he finds a new niche in the NHL with a team that needs him as a third center.
