The Montreal Canadiens are heading into the season with a surplus of promising young defensemen, and that depth inevitably sparks rumors, with several rival general managers keeping a close eye on the situation.
One name keeps coming up more than the others, and it's not necessarily the one fans were expecting. I must admit, I was quite surprised to learn this news.
Indeed, according to information from Jimmy Murphy, Jayden Struble is drawing enormous attention across the league.
Teams Prefer Jayden Struble Over Arber Xhekaj in Trade Talks
Murphy explained that he had heard Struble's name come up repeatedly over the summer.
"It seems that a number of teams are looking to acquire Jayden Struble from the Montreal Canadiens. His is the name I heard the most during the offseason."
Even more surprising, some organizations negotiating with the Canadiens reportedly indicated that they would rather target Struble than Arber Xhekaj.
"Teams that are in talks with the Canadiens and might want to make a trade seem to prefer Jayden Struble over Arber Xhekaj."
This revelation clearly illustrates the value Struble has around the league. His mobility and physical play make him a player who catches the attention of scouts.
For Montreal, this situation creates a dilemma. Should they take advantage of his value to acquire an established forward, or keep Struble to strengthen the future of the defensive corps?
I believe this rumor shows just how much the Canadiens are finally in a position of strength. I like hearing that other teams are interested in Habs players and not the other way around-for once!
