Recent reports have surfaced that the Canadiens are re-entering trade talks regarding this star winger.
Reports Surface That Canadiens Shopping Armia on Trade Block
Joel Armia is a tricky contract situation for the Montreal Canadiens, as his production has dropped off significantly but he still carries a heft cap hit at $3.4 million. It was reported that the Canadiens were shopping him this offseason, and now they are looking to re-engage in those talks.
The #GoHabsGo have recalled Joel Armia from the AHL. They tried trading him in the off-season, and word is they re-engaged in trade talks this week. We'll see if any traction is gained. He's got another year left on his deal at a $3.4M cap hit.
The Canadiens have essentially recalled Armia to put him on display for other teams in order to get a deal done. Armia has been performing pretty well in the AHL, and hopefully, for the Canadiens and Armia, he can perform during his time up with the Canadiens so that they can find a new team for him.
