The price for Martin Hanzal appears to have been named.

As one of only a few sellers heading toward the March 1 trade deadline, the Arizona Coyotes are looking to move the center, and if the Montreal Canadiens, who are among the interested suitors, want to get their hands on the Czech center, they'll need to pay up.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the two sides have discussed a trade, and Arizona's asking price is believed to include Canadiens forward Michael McCarron, a first-round pick, and another conditional pick.

Two possible conditions of that pick include how far the Canadiens advance in the playoffs, or if Montreal re-signs Hanzal, a pending unrestricted free agent.

Hanzal has appeared in 39 games with the Coyotes this season, tallying 10 goals and eight assists, and is a desirable asset given his big presence up the middle.

As for McCarron, the 21-year-old is currently in the AHL, but has spent time with the Canadiens this season, recording a goal and three assists through 15 contests.
