Maxime Truman drops a bombshell as trade talks between the Canadiens and Blues intensify
In a stunning development that could reshape the Montreal Canadiens’ offensive core, respected insider Maxime Truman has revealed that Jordan Kyrou, the dynamic 83-point forward for the St. Louis Blues, is reportedly open to waiving his no-trade clause to join the Canadiens—if a major deal between Kent Hughes and Doug Armstrong materializes.

According to Truman’s exclusive sources, Kyrou’s agent recently approached him to gauge his willingness to accept a trade to Montreal. The answer was clear: he would say yes.
This revelation adds fuel to an already simmering fire. For weeks, insiders have continued to link Kyrou to the Canadiens, even after GM Kent Hughes pulled off significant moves by acquiring Zachary Bolduc and Noah Dobson. Despite skepticism from some fans, the rumors have refused to die—and now we know why.
What’s more intriguing is that this aligns with earlier reporting from Marco D’Amico, who stated before the draft that Montreal had two primary trade targets:
- Noah Dobson (now a Hab)
- Jordan Kyrou
With Dobson already in the fold, all eyes now turn to Kyrou.
Behind the scenes, it’s clear that Hughes is still working the phones—and if this deal goes through, it could mark one of the boldest offseasons in recent Canadiens history.
