REAL Habs Trade Partners! These Are The Teams To Watch!

As the Habs head toward the 2026-27 NHL season, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton could have several potential trade partners worth watching. In this episode of The Starr & D’Amico Show, we break down four teams that could line up with what the Canadiens are trying to accomplish: the Seattle Kraken, Calgary Flames, Columbus Blue Jackets and Winnipeg Jets. Which of these teams has a player who could fit Montreal’s needs? What could the Canadiens realistically be willing to give up?
