Last year, the Habs made a big move just prior to the 3:00 PM EST trade deadline.
The Habs stepped up their play this past week, playing a trio of strong games to extend their lead atop the Eastern Conference.
Since taking over as GM, Marc Bergevin has been steadfast in his opinion that a team can never have too many defencemen.
Earlier this week, Marc Bergevin made a trade to change up the look of Montreal’s forwards by dealing away Jiri Sekac for more grit in Devante Smith-Pelly.
Tuesday’s trade of Jiri Sekac for Devante Smith-Pelly caught everyone off guard.
The trade deadline is now less than a week away and it’s expected that GM Marc Bergevin will still look to add another player or two to the mix after making a move up front on Tuesday.
Strengths: A very strong physical player who is strong on his feet. Despite being a heavier player, he’s a good skater as well.
Marc Bergevin isn’t waiting until the trade deadline to make a deal as on Tuesday, the team announced that they have traded rookie winger Jiri Sekac to Anaheim.
It was an up-and-down week for the Habs but they did enough to pick up five of a possible eight points to stay atop the Atlantic Division standings.
With the trade deadline almost here, it’s time to take a look at the Habs’ cap situation.
