Possible blockbuster trade involving the Canadiens, the Leafs and two goalies
Last year, the Montreal Canadiens took on a depreciating player in Sean Monohan in exchange for future considerations from Calgary, and now that the Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to move salary cap, could they come together with another Canadian team?
The Leafs' biggest need
The Maple Leafs biggest need this off-season is their goaltending, and with links to Carter Hart persisting, it appears that the Leafs need to desperately move off veteran goaltender Matt Murray.
Enter the Montreal Canadiens.
A blockbuster deal?
With upwards of $7 million in cap space remaining, the Canadiens could be looking to take on future assets, which has led to the suggestion of this trade that would benefit both sides.

TO TORONTO:
Future considerations
With the salary cap situation for both teams and the potential involvement of the Flyers to land Carter Hart in Toronto, there's plenty of moving parts to make a potential deal like this happen.
However, we saw the success that Montreal had in the Monahan deal, landing a future first-round pick from the Flames, and given that the Canadiens are unlikely to contend next season, this is another way to get a future asset or two if Philadelphia get involved.
