The Habs will make a splash this summer and no one will have seen it coming, says Mathias Brunet
Auteur: Matthew GarciaWe can expect a monster trade at the draft, but it won’t be for Trevor Zegras or Martin Necas, who have been rumored in Montreal in recent weeks.
There’s clearly a surplus of left-handed defensemen (Mike Matheson, Kaiden Guhle, Lane Hutson, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris and Jayden Struble).
In addition, there’s Logan Mailloux (right-handed) pushing at the door, as well as David Reinbacher (right-handed).
And let’s not forget Justin Barron, David Savard and Jonathan Kovacevic, who are all part of the Habs line-up.
In short, there’s some housekeeping to be done.
Brunet believes that Harris will leave, despite the fact that his value isn’t great.
He’s the most logical choice, in his opinion.
He could be included in a package deal, and the Jets’ 26th pick, now owned by the Canadiens, could very well be paired with Harris in a bid to bolster the attack.
It probably won’t be the coup Mathias Bunet is talking about, but a Patrik Laine who wouldn’t cost too much to acquire in such a trade wouldn’t hurt.
Overtime
– Bobrovsky has nothing to be ashamed of in the last game. It’s proof that he can’t do everything either, and that he’s been left behind.
“Bob has been great since the start of the playoffs. […] He had nothing to do with this defeat”.

– Good news for the Oilers who will try to force a game #6.
Knoblauch said Evander Kane will travel with the Oilers to Florida. “There’s a possibility, we’ll evaluate his health and make a decision then.”
