NHL Trade Rumors: Montreal Canadiens still targeting Jordan Kyrou in potential blockbuster deal

The Montreal Canadiens may not be finished trying to land Jordan Kyrou. Despite the St. Louis Blues forward now having a full no-trade clause, reports suggest that the Canadiens remain interested in acquiring him.

NHL insider Frank Seravalli recently confirmed that Montreal is still working behind the scenes to make a deal happen, signaling that this potential blockbuster trade is far from dead.

Montreal Canadiens continue their pursuit of Jordan Kyrou despite his full no-trade clause in place

Although Jordan Kyrou’s no-trade clause went into effect on July 1, preventing the Blues from moving him without his approval, the Canadiens are reportedly still in active discussions to bring the talented winger to Montreal. Seravalli, speaking on The Kevin Karius Show, shared that the Canadiens have not given up on Kyrou and are exploring ways to convince him to waive his clause.The Blues, meanwhile, appear motivated to part ways with Kyrou’s contract, which carries significant term and cap implications. With St. Louis having plenty of winger depth, moving Kyrou could free up flexibility for other roster moves. Montreal general manager Kent Hughes is known for being aggressive in trade talks, and the Canadiens’ ongoing interest signals that they view Kyrou as a potential impact addition to their offense.

Lingering questions about Jordan Kyrou’s fit in Montreal and the trade assets needed to acquire him remain

One major question is whether Kyrou would be open to joining Montreal. As a Toronto native, he might have some interest in playing in Canada, but no reports have confirmed his stance. If he’s unwilling to waive his no-trade clause, any deal would be impossible.Additionally, the Canadiens recently traded Logan Mailloux to St. Louis in a separate transaction, removing one potential asset they could have included in a Kyrou package.

While other teams are also reportedly in the mix, the Canadiens appear to be among the most serious suitors.Hughes will need to find a combination of players or draft picks that can entice St. Louis while also securing Kyrou’s approval.As trade talks continue, the possibility of Jordan Kyrou joining the Montreal Canadiens remains one of the most intriguing storylines of the offseason. While obstacles like the no-trade clause and limited bargaining chips stand in the way, Montreal’s determination could eventually lead to a breakthrough. Fans should keep a close eye on this developing situation in the weeks ahead.Also Read: Jakub Dobes inks two-year deal with the Montreal Canadiens after an impressive rookie season
