Big move to come in the draft for Kent Hughes? New statement on a possible trade involving Josh Anderson
Even though the Canadiens came out relatively empty-handed from the NHL trading period this year, it doesn't mean that Kent Hughes didn't try everything to improve his team.
However, it is quite possible that the Canadiens GM will make a strong comeback during the upcoming draft in Nashville in June.
At least that's the opinion of Guillaume Latendresse, who declared on the "La Poche Bleue le midi" show that Hughes could take advantage of this opportunity to trade forward Josh Anderson.
As we know, there have been all sorts of rumors surrounding the Canadiens' number 17, but according to several experts, the team's management was very demanding in its requests.
Latendresse even mentioned that Anderson had probably reached his full potential and that the upcoming NHL draft could be the best time to send him to greener pastures.
All of this is encouraging, but does the Canadiens have the intention of sacrificing Josh Anderson in the upcoming weeks?
It's hard to say for now, but it should be mentioned that he is still under contract for four more seasons at an annual salary of $5.5 million. Some teams might be hesitant to acquire him, and Anderson will still be 29 years old next May.
As they say, this is a case to follow.
