According to what Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports, Joel Armia's contract is the only reason he didn't move at the trade deadline.
At $3.4M through 2024-2025, LeBrun is certain the Habs will try to move him this summer.
Unfortunately, because of Armia's salary, they couldn't keep Artturi Lehkonen.
Armia has 12 points in 53 games this season with the Red-White.
