The Montreal Canadiens were the only team that Elliott Friedman mentioned when he noted that Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kerby Rychel could be traded this offseason in order to get help on defense. He didn't say that the Canadiens were in on a trade for Rychel, or even that they were interested, just that he wouldn't be surprised.
However, Friedman doesn't just throw team names out there willy nilly, he's obviously heard something. So if the Habs are looking at Rychel, and why wouldn't they be, so should we.
