I am of the belief that Bergevin is entirely aware of this and is still trying to work up a deal that could give the Habs an added edge going into the season. Elliotte Friedman is of the same belief, as he stated on “Tim and Sid” a few days ago: “I have no doubt that Bergevin, who likes the action, is still trying to do things.”

Claude Julien also gave a cryptic statement at Jonathan Drouin‘s golf tournament last week, which seems to imply that something is in the works.

Of course, I very well may be overanalyzing the interview, but I can’t help but have a feeling in my bones that a trade will still be made before training camp begins. Whether this hypothetical move will be big or small, your guess is as good as mine, but if I were a betting man, I would say that a significant acquisition will be made to go along with any smaller moves.

I have seen many names popping up in Habs rumours throughout the past week, but three have stood out. Those four being Jason Pominville, Julius Honka and Jake Gardiner. Since rumours very rarely pan out, I would like to look at why these players are linked with the Habs and if the acquisition of a player of their mould would make sense.
