The Canadiens and the Sabres are two young teams with many promising players, making them similar in some ways but opposite in others.
The Canadiens are brimming with young talent on defense, while Buffalo is stronger on the offensive side.
Despite this, the Sabres still need reinforcements on the blue line, and the Canadiens, despite acquiring
Kirby Dach and
Alex Newhook in the last two years, still need forwards.
Thus, the two teams could make a trade, and the player the Canadiens might be targeting is
Jack Quinn.
TVA Sports recently published an article discussing this possibility.
The situations of both teams naturally link them because they have opposite strengths and weaknesses, while also having talented young players to offer.
If Jack Quinn is indeed on Kent Hughes' radar, he is an interesting right winger at 6'1" and 185 lbs, who has totaled 19 points in 27 games this season with the Sabres, and he could be coming to Montreal.
