The NHL trade market has been set ablaze by recent news out of Dallas, as the Stars reportedly consider moving one of their brightest talents, Jason Robertson. With back-to-back 80-point seasons and a jaw-dropping 109-point campaign just a year ago, Robertson is the kind of elite forward every team dreams of adding to their roster.

Now, with Dallas openly seeking draft capital in return, the Montreal Canadiens suddenly find themselves in a unique position. Armed with multiple high picks and a clear need for offensive firepower, the Canadiens could be the perfect trade partner. As speculation swirls and fans dare to imagine a superstar in Montreal’s lineup, the stage is set for a potentially franchise-altering move that could send shockwaves through the league.

In recent days, major news hit the trade market as the Dallas Stars are reportedly open to trading Jason Robertson.

We’re talking about a true NHL star who has recorded 80 points in each of the last two seasons, and a massive 109 points in 2022-23, including 46 goals.

He’s an outstanding player, and it’s no surprise he’s fueling the dreams of many Montreal Canadiens fans.

Here’s an intriguing new twist.

According to the well-respected Jeff Marek, not only are the Stars considering trading Jason Robertson to create cap space, but they’d even be willing to move him in exchange for draft picks.

On one hand, the Stars want to reload their draft capital, and on the other, the Montreal Canadiens have picks to spare.

Is there a real opportunity here for Kent Hughes?

No idea, but it certainly shows that the Canadiens have exactly what Dallas is looking for.

Of course, acquiring a player like Jason Robertson will cost more than just the 16th and 17th overall picks (even combined), but this could be a solid starting point.

Would you trade the 16th overall pick, 17th overall pick, 41st overall pick, and the Canadiens’ 2026 first-round pick (top-5 protected) for Jason Robertson?

They want picks.. let’s give them picks!
