Blockbuster Trade Proposal Trending Online Between the Flames and Canadiens

Brendan Gallagher is having an interesting start to the year, with 4 goals and 3 assists through the first 12 games. This is already half of his entire production last year and is bringing up conversations about whether or not it is a good time to trade him. His value is high as of now, and he could bring in a decent asset.

One of those assets could be Jonathan Huberdeau of the Calgary Flames. While Huberdeau is having the opposite start that Gallagher is having, it's likely he will shake that funk soon and return to his average production.

A trade in just this manner is going viral online as it was proposed by Max Van Houtte on social media.

The interesting trade would also see the Canadiens parting ways with Josh Anderson.

Montreal would likely be taking the hit on a trade like this, something that Van Houtte notes in his post. Huberdeau currently looks like one of the worst contracts in the NHL, and he might not be worth the risk for another 8 years.

While it is unlikely that this exact trade will play out, we could see Calgary trying to dump Huberdeau with some salary retained, which might entice some teams.
