Canadiens acquire a top-six forward from the Bruins? Surprising development
The Boston Bruins forward James Van Riemsdyk is drawing interest from GM Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
The 2nd overall pick in 2007, was recently linked to the Canadiens, had 38 points with the Bruins last season, and could be an affordable solution for the team.
With the news of Rafael Harvey Pinard's long-term absence, this could be another reason why the team has to add the former Bruins UFA.
Kent Hughes and Canadiens Acquire Top-6 Bruins Forward? Here He Is
The 6'3, 208-pound forward just produced 38 points. The Canadiens have a spot on their top 6. And he could bring in an interesting trade deadline pick if he produces!
Not a must, but an interesting option that doesn't involve any risk!"
- Marc-Olivier Beaudoin
He may not be the former 60-point winger he once was, but at $1.6 Million AAV, James Van Riemsdyk could be a steal for the Canadiens.
Even at the age of 35, he has produced at a reliable points pace of 44 points, 40 points, and a 63-point clip over the last few seasons.
He could be an excellent addition for the next time to sign him, if the Bruins don't.
