Several National League teams are currently looking to make a deal.
The Canadiens are one of them.
But the market is quiet because there are no available players running around in the NHL. As a result, prices are high, and this may hold back some grandmasters in the four corners of Bettman's scheme.
On the other hand, it may open the floodgates when we see our first transaction. And the Habs are definitely one to keep an eye on… because there could be something going on between the Montreal team and the St. Louis team.
According to Darren Draeger(Barn Burner)The Blues were keeping a close eye on Thursday's game against the Capitals… and it should also be noted that Peter Chiarelli was here last night as a scout at the Bell Center.
Interesting thing.
Darren Dreger: There is no shortage of GMs looking to buy; Kent Hughes from the Canadiens… I know St. Louis [Blues] It was all about that Habs game last night, so maybe there's something going on between the Blues and Canadiens – Barn Burner (11/21)

This isn't the first time we've heard that the Blues-Habs connection is making noise.
Kent Hughes has been following the Jordan Kairu case for weeks this summer… and it looks like the rumor is still going strong.
Oh, and these two teams also made a trade (Bolduc vs. Maillou) earlier this summer. Kent Hughes and Doug Armstrong know each other, and they already have some connections, so they can move together…
But the connection becomes even simpler if you look at the situation in the two clubs.
The Canadiens are looking to add a player to their roster to get some help, recent struggles have hurt…and the idea of ​​picking up a guy who can help right now is on the table, and it's no secret. On the other hand, the Blues have had a bad start to the season and a lot of rumors are starting to reach Saint-Louis.
I wouldn't be surprised if these two clubs make a deal in the near future. Again, especially when it seems like there's actually something going on between the two teams right now…
After a while
– Yeah.
The Canadiens take a break from practice today after last night's great win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
They will return to practice this Monday in Brossard ahead of a three-game road trip. Their trip will include Utah on Wednesday, Vegas on Friday… pic.twitter.com/ph3WUMFGj7
