What’s really going on inside the NHL trade market ahead of the U.S. Thanksgiving freeze? In today’s breakdown, we pull apart key take-aways from a revealing article and then apply it to the Montreal Canadiens’ outlook:

• A true seller’s market means very few teams are willing to give up pieces — so buyers are forced to overpay. 
RG

• The Calgary Flames are holding a lot of leverage. They’re in a weak position in the standings yet have no urgency to sell unless offers are massive. 
RG

• Teams like the St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks are “listening” but not in full panic-mode — making trade wheels slow to turn. 
RG

• For the Canadiens: With injuries stacking and centre depth under pressure, this gridlock could either be an opportunity or a hurdle depending on how the front office plays it.

🔍 WHAT WE’LL COVER IN THIS VIDEO:

What does “seller’s market” really mean, and how does it impact trade prices in the NHL?

Why Calgary’s non-urgency is contributing to the market freeze.

The specific trade landscape for the Canadiens: Where we are now, what we need, major threats, and realistic trade targets.

My prediction: Will a “mistake” trigger a flurry of deals before the freeze? Or will everything stay locked in place?

How this affects your expectations for the rest of the season, especially if you’re following the Habs.
