Canadiens Eye Big Swing For Islanders’ Top-Line Center

Montreal is being linked to a major trade idea, and that alone tells you this one is built for the rumor mill. The question is whether the Canadiens can realistically make a big move for an Islanders star center, because the price on players like that is never just draft picks and prospects - it is pain, patience, and a little bit of front-office bravado. In this league, contenders are usually made by the teams that know when to sit tight and when to go all in.
