We indeed have action on the NHL waiver wire today, coming from Boston and involving a rugged forward.

We know that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens want to add a gritty forward, and we know they like to take chances on former first-round picks. So, in short, please note that Max Jones is currently available for free.

He's a character forward who was expected to become a force in a top-six NHL role, but he hasn't delivered the anticipated performances over the past few years.

Due to their 29th overall position in the NHL standings today, the Canadiens have one of the top four priorities to claim players on waivers.

Could the gritty forward Max Jones be of interest to Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton?

Stay tuned, but know that he was placed on waivers by the Boston Bruins just minutes ago.

Max Jones, 26, is a large winger standing 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 216 pounds. He was a first-round draft pick by the Anaheim Ducks in 2016 (24th overall) and has accumulated 62 points in 262 career games in the NHL.

This includes 31 goals and 31 assists, along with 219 penalty minutes.

This is a story to follow in the coming hours, and we'll have an answer by tomorrow afternoon.
