Two Quebec hopefuls who could be traded

There will be plenty of action in the NHL by next Friday.
The trade deadline is approaching (March 7) and we will see teams trying to improve for the NHL playoffs.
This is always an exciting period for the league’s fans!
No one can really predict what will happen around the league.
But right now, there are two Quebec hopefuls who are getting attention… because they could change addresses in the coming days.
In Dallas, the Stars seem ready to gear up for war.
And to get reinforcements for the playoffs, David Pagnotta believes the Stars could use Mavrik Bourque to add talent to their lineup.
TVA Sports also shared an article on the subject:
Mavrik Bourque as a trading chip in Dallas?

It’s ironic, but Hendrix Lapierre is in a similar situation to Bourque.
I say it’s ironic because the two were selected in the first round of the 2020 draft.
They have never been able to carve out a regular spot with their team and now their names are making waves.
But where we see that there are easy links to make between Bourque and Lapierre, it’s when we look at the overall NHL standings.
The Stars (3rd) and the Capitals (2nd) are among the best teams in the National League. And it’s normal to see that they want to do everything to win the Stanley Cup this year with the players getting older on their respective teams.
It may be the last chance for Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin in Dallas… While in Washington, the end of Alex Ovechkin’s and John Carlson’s careers is approaching.
This is why Lapierre’s name is getting attention in Washington:

Among the Quebec players who could be traded by March 7… We must not forget Mathieu Olivier in Columbus.
We know that the Blue Jackets want to keep him for obvious reasons.
But we also know that the main interested party has great value on the market and that his contract will end when the 2024-25 season is over.
This could perhaps encourage Don Waddell to send him elsewhere…

“We’ve had the wow factor. These guys are good enough and now they have the goaltending. I’m expecting complimentary, depth pieces.”@RealKyper, @GordStellick & @SamAMcKee debate how big the #LeafsForever should swing at the trade deadline.
