With less than two weeks before the trade deadline, many teams still plan to make moves. A major rumor emerged concerning a possible trade between three teams.
Montreal Canadiens to Complete a Trade With the Colorado Avalanche and the Anaheim Ducks? A New Rumor Suggests Something Major Is Coming
The Montreal Canadiens and the Anaheim Ducks are in the same situation: they're rebuilding and they won't make the playoffs this season. As the deadline looms, both teams will likely part ways with a few players that could play a role for another team in the playoffs.
In a new rumor, these organizations were linked to a top team, the Colorado Avalanche.
Anaheim would send Adam Henrique, one of this year's most coveted targets on the market, and get a first round pick, Calum Ritchie (drafted in the first round in 2023), the veteran Ryan Johansen and the prospect Sean Behrens from Colorado. The Ducks would also retain 50% of Henrique and Allen's contracts.
Montreal sends veteran goalie Jake Allen, who has struggled lately but could still be a reliable number two in the playoffs, and receive a 2026 third round pick from the Avs.
COL gets Adam Henrique and Jake Allen.
ANA gets Calum Ritchie, 2025 COL 1st RD, Sean Behrens, Ryan Johansen.
MTL gets 2026 3rd RDer from Colorado
*ANA retains 50% on both Henrique and Allen."
If that trade happens, it would solve to main issues in Colorado: goaltending and forward depth.
The Candiens could finally offload a goaltender, after having dealt with three goalies all season.
As for the Ducks, they'd get valuable prospects, a great pick, and a veteran.
