The Montreal Canadiens have been the talk of the NHL offseason, with a flurry of bold moves that have already sent shockwaves through the league. Yet, just as fans and analysts began to catch their breath, Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Jeff Gorton has reignited the rumor mill, hinting that the Canadiens’ front office is far from finished.

In a recent interview, Gorton’s carefully chosen words suggested that more trades could be on the horizon, keeping the hockey world on edge and fueling speculation about what blockbuster deal might be next for Montreal. With whispers of big names like Jordan Kyrou gaining traction and the team’s ongoing efforts to adjust their salary cap situation, anticipation is reaching fever pitch.

The Canadiens’ aggressive approach this summer has made it clear that they’re not content to simply maintain the status quo—instead, they’re aiming to reshape the roster and make a serious push for contention. As the offseason unfolds and training camps draw closer, all eyes are on Montreal to see just how far Gorton and his team are willing to go in pursuit of their ambitious vision.

The Canadiens have made strong moves this offseason, but as many suspected, Jeff Gorton just confirmed they’re not done yet and more trades could be coming.

The Canadiens’ Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations has opened the door to a potential new trade that could soon be announced by the organization, and he all but confirmed that they are currently working hard on the phones.

That lines up exactly with the current rumors.

In an interview with Marc Antoine Godin of Radio-Canada, we learn that Jeff Gorton expects a surge in NHL activity before training camps begin.

In the interview, he also opens the door to a new trade that could soon be announced by the Habs. Interesting!

Of course, Gorton doesn’t guarantee 100% that the Canadiens will announce another trade in the coming days, but let’s just say he dropped some very strong hints.

This will definitely be something worth watching!

“Everyone is still looking to make moves. I expect trades before the end of the offseason.”

Clearly, Jeff Gorton is leaving the door open for another trade.

Let’s not forget that Jordan Kyrou’s name has been circulating heavily in Montreal, and what’s currently being said about Kyrou is very similar to what was being said about Noah Dobson right before his trade was announced-so this is definitely something to monitor.

We should also note that the Canadiens are reportedly looking to free up some cap space, so names like Carey Price and Patrik Laine could potentially be on the way out.
