The Montreal Canadiens have been considering their options as the trade deadline is fast approaching. Will they be buyers? Will they sell some assets? What if they just stand pat and see what happens?
There is an interesting argument to be made for all three scenarios. The Canadiens have played well when healthy this season and another defenseman or power play weapon would give them an even greater chance at finishing the season strong and making a push for the postseason. They need to catch the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers to do that, and both teams have defensive flaws and could be considered vulnerable.
