Montreal Eyes Marchenko Trade

Montreal’s GM Kent Hughes confirms the team remains a buyer despite no blockbuster trade in the draft, hinting at active moves post-draft and into free agency. With Columbus’s Zach Werenski and Marchenko reportedly seeking new contracts, Montreal could be a prime target — especially for Marchenko, whose offensive output and impending contract demands make him a high-value asset. While a deal would likely require top prospects and current players, Montreal’s salary cap flexibility and playoff momentum could make it worthwhile. Hughes is confident in the team’s offseason upgrade potential — and fans may just have to wait and see if Marchenko becomes the key piece to unlock Ivan Demidov’s ceiling.
