The Canadiens seem to be playing in the Los Angeles Kings' backyard

According to what Marc D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now reports, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes is reportedly interested in former Kings second-round pick in 2020 Helge Grans.

The Kings, with a surplus of young defencemen, could benefit from the CH's surplus of forwards.
