In the silly season we call the off-season, many hockey fans consume any semblance of a rumour that comes their way. Montreal Canadiens fans are no exception. So, imagine how spirited a conversation can be when someone suggests, rather confidently, that the Habs will trade for a player.
TSN 690 host and fellow colleague Mitch Gallo threw out a fascinating target that he felt the Habs could see themselves landing at some point this fall:
The Canadiens are totally going to acquire Brandon Saad.

As assured as Gallo sounded in his tweet, it should be noted that he didn’t say the team was linked to Brandon Saad.
