## Resource

The Montreal Canadiens are still searching for ways to improve their roster ahead of the upcoming NHL season, but what if the biggest additions aren't the obvious names? In this episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down four underrated trade targets that could make a significant impact for the Canadiens without the massive acquisition cost attached to some of the league's biggest stars. We discuss whether Pavel Zacha could be the versatile middle-six center the Habs need, if veteran Ryan O'Reilly still has enough left in the tank to help Montreal contend, and whether younger options like Morgan Frost and Ryan McLeod could fit Kent Hughes' long-term vision. Could one of these players become Montreal's answer at center? Which target offers the best value? And what would it cost the Canadiens to get a deal done? Join Shaun Starr and Marco D'Amico as they analyze potential trade fits, roster construction, cap implications, and what the Canadiens should prioritize as they continue building toward Stanley Cup contention. 🔵⚪🔴 Subscribe for Montreal Canadiens news, trade rumors, prospect updates, NHL analysis, and LIVE discussions. #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey Hosted on Acast.
