Despite the trade that sent Jeff Petry to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Habs are still stuck with the salary cap and Kent Hughes still has a lot of work to do between now and the opening of the team's training camp in September.
In fact, as reported by J.B. Gagné of GoHabsGo, the Habs GM reportedly has only $1.25 million under the salary cap and it's becoming increasingly clear that another trade could happen at any time.
By the way, in this regard, the reputable site The Fourth Period mentioned that three Habs players would be available for a trade, namely Christian Dvorak, Mike Hoffman and newcomer Evgeny Dadonov.
Obviously there's nothing surprising about this, especially when it comes to Dvorak and Hoffman, but an intriguing tweet mentions that a personnel move is afoot with the Habs.
Could this have anything to do with a possible trade involving Pierre-Luc Dubois?
It's quite possible, and it's also worth mentioning that even though the Twitter account IncarceratedBob is pretty well known for its baseball and soccer news and scoops, it's quite likely that Kent Hughes is still working on a deal.
File to follow.
