Montreal Canadiens fans have been waiting for Marc Bergevin to make a trade all year. There was a lack of confidence in the free agent signings and the 1-6-1 start to the regular season rose a lot of red flags. However, Bergevin has still been reluctant to make a move.
The Habs have made four trades so far, and only one has been from the main club when they sent Torrey Mitchell to the Los Angeles Kings for a conditional 2018 5th round pick. Zach Redmond for Nicolas Deslauriers has turned out to be a good move as he’s been an effective player for the Montreal Canadiens on the fourth line.
