Sunday Habs Headlines: Reactions to the Alex Galchenyuk—Max Domi trade

Montreal Canadiens news and notes

• Though the Canadiens may have arguably given up the better player to the Coyotes, the trade is not a complete loss for Montreal. [Sportsnet]
• The Montreal Canadiens never seemed to understand the type of player they had in Alex Galchenyuk. [TSN]
• In fact, the team’s handling of the entire trade itself has left a lot to be desired in terms of asset management. [The Athletic]
• One thing the trade does seem to indicate however, is that Marc Bergevin wants him team to play and win a certain way. [TSN]
• Canadiens prospect Ryan Poehling received a prestigious invite. [SC Times]
• Marc Bergevin might be willing to move down in the upcoming draft:/

Brian Burke tells me and @thegoldenmuzzy on Off The Rush @SiriusXMNHL he believes Marc Bergevin has identified a couple of centres in this draft that can help #Habs and will trade down in 1st round to select one.

Burke says that player will NOT help Montreal this season
