Transactions: a trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Senators involving a 1st round pick?
A very interesting new piece of information has just been revealed.
We have just learned what Kent Hughes could receive, in addition to Mathieu Joseph, in a trade with the Ottawa Senators.
Let's remember that the Canadiens are open to concluding a new «Sean Monahan style» trade, meaning to receive a salary plus a draft pick, in exchange for future considerations.
Let's also remember that the Senators absolutely must free up salary very quickly, otherwise, they are apparently going to lose their very promising young center Shane Pinto.
Pinto is currently a restricted free agent (RFA), but Ottawa has no cap space to sign him.
So, it seems that Mathieu Joseph, with a contract of $2.9 million over three years, is at the heart of discussions in Ottawa for a trade.
The Canadiens is one of the few clubs that can help Dorion and have the necessary space.
But at what price?
According to Anthony Di Marco, here is what has just come out.
According to multiple league sources, it would take a first-round pick or an equivalent prospect to do it.»
Wow, Kent Hughes could, therefore, receive Mathieu Joseph and a first-round pick, for nothing.
To be continued.
