It would be stupid to trade for a backup. Just call up Lindgren.
Hudon doesn't look to be attracting much of a return at this point, I've heard a pundit say he's been trying to move him for months.
Then move him to the AHL. At least he gets playing time right ? If claimed he’s claimed.
If Chicago wanted to save money we could flip Niemi for Ward. Both contracts are expiring.

If the Habs wanted to think outside the box, they could always move guys like Benn and/or Hudon for a cap dump with short term to get a better return.Lebrun said last week or the week before that there was a team interested in Hudon but the Habs said they weren't interested in moving him at the time. That was before the Weise and Thompson moves and Lebrun then said maybe things have since changed.
IMO if there was a team interested in Hudon he would've been traded unless the other team wanted the Habs to take a bad contract or something back which I doubt for Hudon.
I'm not expecting much from MB this deadline but hopefully he looks at his roster and tries to move any players he's not expecting to bring back next season (Benn, Hudon maybe) even if it's for 5th - 7th round picks.
Just use the wingers we have better.Lehkonen is a player I would dangle.
He's good defensively but I'd like to see KK with a more offensive player. Silfverberg would be nice.

Byron or Drouin would be nice too... And they are already Habs' players.
According to RDS.ca https://www.rds.ca/hockey/lnh/rumeu...teront-pas-du-renfort-a-court-terme-1.6622289 :Chicago’s making a push for the playoffs. Crawford’s hurt and that trade would leave them with Niemi and Delia. No way Chicago does that to save a couple of bucks.

Jimmy Greenfield of the Chicago Tribune thinks the team should not try to boost the roster in the short term in order to make the playoffs. Greenfield writes that the Blackhawks could move Cam Ward, Gustav Forsling, Slater Koekkoek, Carl Dahlstrom, Marcus Kruger, John Hayden and Brendan Perlini by the trade deadline without giving the impression of giving up on the season.
Would Petry and our 1st get us Tkachuk from the Sens?
Would we?Would we trade KK for a 30 year old plus D and a first round pick?
Why in heaven's name? That's not even the Tkachuk I'd want. But that cost is too high.Would Petry and our 1st get us Tkachuk from the Sens?
