Elliotte Friedman has confirmed that a concrete trade offer was made to the Columbus Blue Jackets for him.<\/p>\n

The Sportsnet insider confirmed it all.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens didn’t just make a call out of curiosity.<\/p>\n

“There were some reports out there that they made a big offer to Columbus, there was definitely an offer made.”<\/p>\n

– Elliotte Friedman<\/p>\n

Friedman did, however, temper expectations regarding the size of the offer.<\/p>\n

“I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder there.”<\/p>\n

Kirill Marchenko remains unavailable despite Kent Hughes’ trade offer<\/p>\n

The issue is the player’s availability.<\/p>\n

Marchenko simply isn’t on the trade market at the moment.<\/p>\n

“But right now, he’s not available,” Friedman confirmed.<\/p>\n

That aligns with what the Blue Jackets’ general manager had already said. Columbus has no intention of letting its forward go.<\/p>\n

Still, Friedman’s confirmation is significant.<\/p>\n

It confirms Kent Hughes’ intent. The Canadiens’ general manager is actively searching for a talented top-six forward.<\/p>\n

It’s like making a strong offer on a house that isn’t for sale. The owner listens politely, but the door remains closed.<\/p>\n

So the file isn’t closed-it’s simply on hold.<\/p>\n

If Columbus changes its mind, Montreal would very likely be the first team to call again.<\/p>\n

It shows that Kent Hughes is knocking on every door, even if it means being turned away.<\/p>\n

Kirill Marchenko remains a player to watch.<\/p>\n
