Earlier on Wednesday RG Media's Marco D'Amico reports that the Canadiens have called up the Sabers for Tage Thompson.but Buffalo had no interest in moving their player.
It appears that this information is not true.
That's what Renault Lavoie reported on TVA Sports Wednesday night.

Lavoie says he was surprised by RG Media's information and that he had nothing to do with the story.
The Canadiens would never have called the Sabers to see if Thompson was available.
Lavoie also added that fans can continue to dream, but he doesn't think it will ever happen.
The arguments in support of his words are very interesting. Lavoie hasn't seen star players change addresses this way.
He compares Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin to the Canadiens' Nick Suzuki and Lane Hutson. Even if things go badly, the Habs will never agree to trade their best players.
Things are too bad for Buffalo to trade for a player of Thompson's caliber. In this respect, Lavoie is absolutely right.
However, the Canadiens are still looking for a second-line center. Thompson was a good idea, but apparently it takes two to dance.
Montreal will likely target talent for their number two center just below. A guy like Thompson would be worth a lot of money.
After a while

Frank Seravalli: At some point, the Canadiens will want to improve at center and add some depth. I think Nazem Kadri could become one of this profile type of player. I think there are probably some other options the Canadiens are keeping an eye on – Bleacher Report (11/11)
