The Montreal Canadiens’ appeal appears to be on the rise, as Pierre LeBrun has revealed some excellent news.<\/p>\n

A very pleasant surprise!<\/p>\n

LeBrun revealed today that a player asked his agent to add the Canadiens to the list of teams he would accept a trade to.<\/p>\n

It was on the OverDrive show that the insider shared the news. A revelation that says a lot about the changing perception of Montreal around the NHL.<\/p>\n

LeBrun described the telling moment.<\/p>\n

An agent was surprised to hear the request from his client.<\/p>\n

The player wanted one specific thing.<\/p>\n

He asked for Montreal to be added to his list of teams where he would like to play.<\/p>\n

The player clearly expressed his desire to play for the Canadiens, and Kent Hughes has the green light to complete the trade.<\/p>\n

However, LeBrun did not name the player.<\/p>\n

The identity of both the player and his agent remains unknown.<\/p>\n

Canadiens’ renewed appeal is starting to show across the NHL<\/p>\n

This revelation comes at an interesting time.<\/p>\n

But recent signs are telling a different story.<\/p>\n

The work of management is paying off!<\/p>\n

Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, and Geoff Molson have worked hard to change the perception of the Canadiens throughout the league, and it appears to be working!<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether this interest will lead to an acquisition.<\/p>\n

For an organization looking to surround its core with talent, this renewed appeal could become a valuable asset this summer!<\/p>\n
