Kristopher Letang in Montreal: he reportedly asked to be traded to the Canadiens
During the 2022 NHL Draft, Kristopher Letang was in Montreal and answered questions from reporters about the possibility of ending his career with the Canadiens.
Although he signed a 6-year, $6.1 million per year contract with the Penguins in 2022, the defenseman did not hide his desire to possibly wear the Canadiens' jersey at the end of his career.
Kristopher Letang has spent his entire career with Pittsburgh, but playing for the Canadiens would be a dream for him, and it's understandable.
According to Mark Madden, Kristopher Letang seems genuinely interested in finishing his career in Montreal.
"According to Mark Madden, an NHL insider working for 105.9 The X and TribLive, the Pittsburgh Penguins have discussed the possibility of trading veteran defenseman Kris Letang to the Montreal Canadiens.
Letang, who is entering the third year of his $36.6 million contract, has been a cornerstone of the Penguins' defense."

The future Hockey Hall of Famer is not expected to leave Pittsburgh this summer, but it remains a possibility for next year.
After all, despite being 37 and showing signs of slowing down, he just put up 51 points in 82 games.
He would inevitably be an extraordinary mentor for the Canadiens' young offensive defensemen, such as Logan Mailloux and Lane Hutson.
