Jets: a destination to watch for David Savard and Joel Armia

Last year, the Winnipeg Jets picked up a rental player in Montreal: Sean Monahan. Will history repeat itself in 2025?

Obviously, following the signing of Jake Evans, it’s not a given that Kent Hughes will want to trade his rental players. Especially if the right price isn’t available on the market…

But as Darren Dreger mentioned this morning on TSN 690, if Joel Armia and David Savard were to become available, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Jets at the center of the discussion.

Obviously, the price would have to be really high. Because for an ordinary pick, the Canadiens won’t let Armia (who has already played in Winnipeg) or Savard go.

Not with Jake Evans signed and the Canadiens being one of the hottest teams in the NHL… even without Kaiden Guhle and Kirby Dach.

Note that the Canadiens are also open, at the right price, to making a hockey trade as such to bring in not a rental player, but an element for the future in the city.

Darren Dreger also discussed the topic on the radio.

When the Canadiens went after Alexandre Carrier, it was with this same mindset. And since it helped the team a lot, it’s logical to believe that doing the same thing is in the plans of the GM.

Because a rental player, in the circumstances, wouldn’t be the most… logical thing for the plan.

If Kent Hughes were to go after a piece for the future after keeping Jake Evans, it would be an excellent week for the Canadiens’ management. Will it happen?

To be continued.


in a hurry

– Will he leave the Islanders?

– Context is important… but yes, it’s a horrible trade.

– What a great player.
