The Montreal Canadiens were on the brink of securing a significant trade for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies before the deadline. General manager Kent Hughes confirmed the teams involvement in serious negotiations, which didnt materialize in time but are set to resume during the offseason. Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos added fuel to the rumors, suggesting Knies as a potential target for the Canadiens, who could bolster their top six forwards with the young talent.
