Just moments ago, he was questioned on one of the topics that sparked significant reactions in recent hours, and let's just say his response was very clear, even if he showed a cautious openness.

In the past few hours, the rumor has been denied by Kent Hughes, Gerard Gallant, and now by Martin St-Louis.
The exchange happens around the 16th minute of the following press conference:
Still, we commend the boldness of putting out such a story, knowing it would stir up so much talk.
