5 PTO targets have been proposed for the Montreal Canadiens
After the announced signing of Jakub Vrana, the Montreal Canadiens and Kent Hughes have just been proposed five players.
Five players who could be targets for professional tryout contracts.
Let's recall that in the last few hours, the Washington Capitals announced that they had signed a professional tryout contract with forward Jakub Vrana.
This is the first contract of its kind to be awarded in the NHL during this 2024 offseason.
A few minutes after this announcement, TVA Sports released a list of five players, five names who could be candidates for the Habs.
