Kent Hughes reveals he pulled off a steal with his latest signing
The general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, just mentioned that he believes he pulled off a good move with his recent signing.
This summer, he has yet to make a big splash on the NHL trade market, but he did announce a major signing for the future of the organization.
Last month, the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club extended Juraj Slafkovsky's contract for eight seasons (2025-2026 to 2032-2033) worth $60.8 million.
We're talking about a deal that will earn him an average annual salary of $7.6 million.
