Carolina Hurricanes

Does Sebastian Aho finally get what he wanted and become a Montreal Canadiens player? No? Not yet anyway.

If the Habs can’t get Aho from the Hurricanes, they could look to add some more unique prospects. The Canes are a solid team that has a chance to make the playoffs again next year and won’t be looking to sell their veteran players. Of course, there is the chance they need to offload a few dollars here and there, but many teams could be in that same situation.

So, instead of trying to land a big money player like Aho or Dougie Hamilton, the Canadiens get creative. The Hurricanes have two prospects that have bothers who are young players in the Habs organization. Ryan Suzuki is a skilled, playmaking centre like his brother Nick and Haydn Fleury is a physical, defensive defenceman like his brother Cale.

Wouldn’t it be cool if the Canadiens could have all four in their system? It would require a good prospect centre and defenceman going back to Carolina.
