Trade rumors are swirling once again in Montreal, and this time, the stakes are even higher. Just when fans thought Kent Hughes had finished dealing with the St. Louis Blues after acquiring Zachary Bolduc, a new bombshell has dropped. According to respected insider Frank Seravalli, the Montreal Canadiens’ general manager is actively working on a second trade with the Blues—this time, with the goal of landing star winger Jordan Kyrou.

The news has set the hockey world abuzz, as Kyrou’s name is drawing interest from multiple teams across the league, and speculation is running wild about what it would take to bring such a dynamic player to Montreal.

With Kyrou’s impressive track record, including a 70-point season and a long-term contract that keeps him locked in through 2031, the potential move could have a massive impact on the Canadiens’ future. As negotiations reportedly intensify and more teams throw their hats into the ring, all eyes are on Hughes to see if he can pull off another bold move. For Montreal fans, the anticipation is palpable—this is a developing story that promises plenty of drama and excitement in the days ahead.

The well-known Frank Seravalli has just revealed a very interesting piece of information regarding Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.

According to his sources, the Habs are indeed working on a second trade with the St. Louis Blues (following the one that involved Zachary Bolduc and Logan Mailloux), and this second trade would be to bring Jordan Kyrou to town.

No, Kent Hughes isn’t backing down on this file-despite already acquiring Bolduc! We love it!

This will definitely be an interesting story to follow!

As Seravalli also mentions, this time, other names are involved.. Other general managers are in the race!

Clearly, Kyrou is generating a ton of interest.

Jordan Kyrou, 27 years old, is a 6-foot-1, 196-pound winger who was a second-round pick (35th overall) by the St. Louis Blues in 2016.

He has recorded 332 points in 416 career NHL games, including 150 goals, and posted 70 points in 82 games this season with the Blues.

Kyrou earns $8.125 million per year through 2031-so he’s on a solid contract.

And you-what would your offer be to bring him to Montreal?

If discussions are still ongoing, it’s clear there’s already a solid foundation forming between the Canadiens and the Blues for a potential deal.

In any case, I’d be curious to see what the Blues are looking for in return from Montreal for Kyrou.
