BIG TRADE: another last-minute twist and Kent Hughes has just officially announced that he will be holding a press conference

It's a busy day for the Montreal Canadiens!

Just minutes after confirming the Sean Monahan trade:

We've just learned that General Manager Kent Hughes will be holding a press conference in the next few minutes.

This is an appointment you won't want to miss!

He will certainly be asked to comment on his significant trade with the Winnipeg Jets.

And speaking of which, there's new information!

We've found out that the Canadiens are not retaining any salary in the trade (fortunately), and the conditional pick is a 3rd round pick in 2027...

The condition? Kent Hughes will get this third-round pick if the Winnipeg Jets win the Stanley Cup.

So, unless there's a surprise, it looks like it will only be the 1st round pick in 2024 obtained for Sean Monahan. (a 26-32nd overall pick)

More details to follow.
