Canadiens Emerge as One of Three Clubs Watching Nico Hischier

Nico Hischier is the kind of player who makes half the league start doing quiet math the second his name hits the rumor mill. Montreal is one of the teams tied to the conversation if New Jersey ever makes him available, which is the sort of sentence that can light up a fanbase and a trade board at the same time. The actual price tag would be brutal, but that is usually what happens when a true first-line center becomes a theoretical prize.
