It was just over a year ago, in the summer of 2021, that the Habs lost young Jesperi Kotkaniemi to the Hurricanes. In compensation, Marc Bergevin received first and third round picks in 2022. However, that first pick, along with a second round pick, was traded to the Coyotes for Christian Dvorak. Although Dvorak is performing well, but not great, he no longer seems to be part of the team's plans and could be sacrificed. According to Pierre LeBrun on RDS's Hockey 360, the story could have been very different. Indeed, the Hurricanes tried to get their hands on KK by way of a trade, but Marc Bergevin was targeting a player that Don Waddell, the GM in Carolina, did not want to trade. Seth Jarvis, who scored 40 points including 17 goals in 68 games in his first season last year, was the player Marc Bergevin was targeting. If this transaction had worked out, the Habs would not look the same today. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/RDSca/status/1578193264015974400?t=7yiZpum5mhz3U-f0rfao-A&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div>
