A new possible trade target A-La Kirby Dach emerges for the Montreal Canadiens
A few weeks before the draft, Kent Hughes will have a lot of work to do to organize his lineup for next season.
That said, it is becoming increasingly clear that he will want to add reinforcements on attack via the trade market, and several names have already been linked to the Canadiens. We can think of Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras, but there is another young forward who could interest Hughes.
According to what the DLC site reports, Cole Perfetti would be an ideal target for the Canadiens organization.
The first pick of the Winnipeg Jets in the 2020 draft, Perfetti just finished his first full season in the NHL with a decent haul of 38 points, including 19 goals in 71 games.
However, he only played one game in the playoffs, and one can wonder if he is still part of the Jets' long-term plans, as there is an impressive pool of offensive prospects for the Manitoba organization.
Could Cole Perfetti become Kent Hughes' third summer acquisition after Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook?
This possibility is quite credible because we all know that the Canadiens are looking for a forward capable of playing on the top two lines, and similar to Newhook, Perfetti can also play as a center.
It will be interesting to follow the various rumors leading up to the next NHL draft, which will take place at the end of June in Vegas.
Regarding Cole Perfetti, the renowned David Pagnotta has also just suggested that he believes his name is on the trade market.
This just came out, but he is indeed available!
