RUMOR: Canadiens Going Hard After Jakob Pelletier
According to Pierre Lebrun as well as many other media sources both local and national, the Canadiens have been in talks in order to get Jakob Pelletier.

There was speculation at the time of the Toffoli trade that Chiarot had been considered as part of the deal, but that it had been scaled back.
Now there's speculation Calgary might still be interested, and the asking price is Jakob Pelletier, which fits pretty well with the idea the cost is a 1st rounder, since Pelletier is a 1st round pick who's been developing well.
So, could this deal be 1 for 1 ? If Habs retain 50%, is there any need for any cap hit to be going the other way ?
The article speculates Dustin Wolf might be a throw-in, but that would essentially mean the Habs are giving up on Cayden Primeau, since it's hard to have 2 goalies developping in the AHL at the same time, so I'm not seeing that happening.
(I have to admit I suspect it might become the two 2nd rounders Calgary owns this year rather than Pelletier, for Chiarot)
