With the trade action around the NHL ramping up in the past few days more and more unexpected players have become available. The most recent of these players is Carolina Hurricanes defenceman Ryan Murphy, who could be a smart grab for Marc Bergevin.
CAR also getting calls on 23-year-old defensemen Ryan Murphy, signed through next year. Imagine the preference would be young forward back.

At first glance, a return of a young forward is something Montreal can manage, specifically in Michael McCarron and Charles Hudon.
