The Canadiens won’t trade Sam Montembeault

Eric Engels: Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes said that he isn’t considering trading goaltender Sam Montembeualt as he sees him as part of their future.

An offseason trade more likely than in-season for Erik Karlsson

Dan Rosen of NHL.com: Believe the San Jose Sharks have a better chance of trading Erik Karlsson in the offseason than at the trade deadline. There would be many moving parts given his cap hit. Return would depend on how much salary the Sharks retain. There would be more teams that could get involved during the offseason.
