Canadiens Wrap: Habs Promote Sedgwick, Forsberg, NHL Trade Rumors

As the NHL Trade Deadline approaches, the Montreal Canadiens continue to reshape their hockey ops department.

Are the Boston Bruins showcasing winger Jake DeBrusk to finally move him on the NHL trade market?

Are the Nashville Predators really shopping star winger Filip Forsberg?

That and more in the latest Bruins Wrap: 

Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens continue to revamp their hockey ops department. On Wednesday, they promoted John Sedgwick to assistant general manager. 

After promoting Sedgwick, the Habs players racked off another win to extend their win streak to four games.

That win streak could be in danger though as both Josh Anderson and Paul Byron went to the hospital with upper-body injuries.

New Canadiens bench boss Martin St. Louis knows where to grab lunch downtown. At my home away from home in the 514, The Real Deal On Peel, and our sponsor, McLean’s Pub!

Thanks for stopping by @mcleanspub today, coach! It was great talking with you & your friend. Eleni was thrilled serving you guys. I hope you enjoyed lunch & will come back soon.
Oh, and thanks for signing my wife's birthday card. She was over the freaking moon! #GoHabsGo pic.twitter.com/oUZGhcD5zL
