The NHL trade deadline is tomorrow, and with that comes a bunch of speculation.
One such suggestion implies that Marc Bergevin and the Montreal Canadiens may be interested in Steve Ott, who was held out of the Detroit Red Wings’ lineup on Tuesday night.
First, Steve Ott doesn’t belong anywhere near such a hallowed franchise as the Montreal Canadiens. Second, say what you will about Marc Bergevin’s trades up until now, there’s no way the Habs General Manager would seriously consider acquiring a 34-year-old who doesn’t score, doesn’t get assists, doesn’t generate shots and doesn’t play effective defence.
