Montreal Canadiens have two prospects considered untouchable in trade negotiations, according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. The report did not name the specific players, but the organization's high regard for its young talent was underscored by the selection of forward Michael Hage with the 21st overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas on June 28, 2024.
