Yup.
Montreal is absolutely starving for a C.
IF Bergevin thinks he can get Sam to be a #1 C moving forward, then I can see him giving up a Galchenyk or Pacioretty type player.
I don't think the time to trade Sam is now necessarily, as he still could turn it around. However, if you can find another GM that is willing to give you something you need/want/can afford, then you have to listen for sure.
