The Chicago Blackhawks are anticipated to be sellers before the 2026 NHL trade deadline, prompting the Montreal Canadiens to consider two potential acquisitions. Ilya Mikheyev, a 31-year-old right winger, has had a strong season with 23 points in 52 games, offering both offensive depth and effective penalty killing. Jason Dickinson, a center known for his defensive skills, could enhance the Canadiens’ bottom six, contributing 13 points and solid penalty-killing capabilities in 43 games this season.
