Ranking The Montreal Canadiens Defenders Most Likely To Be Traded At Trade Deadline

The "Not Going Anywhere" Tier

These defensemen are the least likely of any who have been on the Habs roster this season to be traded ahead of the trade deadline.

10. Chris Wideman

You may have forgotten Chris Wideman was still on the Canadiens roster. He has been on long term injured reserve all season long after a surprise announcement on the eve of training camp ruled him out for the season.

If healthy, he may have actually been traded to a contender looking for a number six or seven defenseman who can help out on the second wave of the power play, but Wideman will not go anywhere due to his health.

9. Kaiden Guhle

Of all the Canadiens defensemen already on the roster, Kaiden Guhle has separated himself from the pack. He is a lock to be here long term and is far more likely to sign a lucrative eight year contract than he is to be traded somewhere.

The 22 year old has an intriguing combination of speed and size and is a budding two-way force on the back end. He will be staying in Montreal for a very long time.

8. Jayden Struble

No one on the Canadiens roster has improved their stock as much as Jayden Struble this season. He has cemented himself on the opening night roster next season, even though there are several options that have more pro experience. He can fly out there and is a physical beast on the ice as well. He is not going anywhere.
