In today’s breakdown, we pull apart key take-aways from a revealing article and then apply it to the Montreal Canadiens’ outlook:• A true seller’s market means very few teams are willing to give up pieces — so buyers are forced to overpay. RG• The Calgary Flames are holding a lot of leverage. They’re in a weak position in the standings yet have no urgency to sell unless offers are massive. RG• Teams like the St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks are “listening” but not in full panic-mode — making trade wheels slow to turn. RG• For the Canadiens: With injuries stacking and centre depth under pressure, this gridlock could either be an opportunity or a hurdle depending on how the front office plays it.🔍 WHAT WE’LL COVER IN THIS VIDEO:What does “seller’s market” really mean, and how does it impact trade prices in the NHL?Why Calgary’s non-urgency is contributing to the market freeze.The specific trade landscape for the Canadiens: Where we are now, what we need, major threats, and realistic trade targets.My prediction: Will a “mistake” trigger a flurry of deals before the freeze? Or will everything stay locked in place?How this affects your expectations for the rest of the season, especially if you’re following the Habs.👇 LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS:Which team do you think will break the freeze first and make a move?Do you think the Canadiens should be buyers or sellers in this market?What trade target would you like to see them go after given the current state of affairs?👍 If you’re into deep dives on the Canadiens, trade strategy and NHL front office dynamics — hit that LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE and CLICK THE BELL so you don’t miss our next videos.Article: https://rg.org/news/hockey/teams-waiting-someone-make-mistake-inside-nhl-trade-market-ahead-us-thanksgiving#montrealcanadiens #habs #nhl Support the showThanks for listening!
