You might have guessed, but as just highlighted on TVA Sports, it has become a home run and a steal by Kent Hughes.
We also salute the Colorado Avalanche, because it is thanks to them that the condition related to the pick was fulfilled.
This second-round pick from the Oilers in 2022, the 62nd overall pick in 2022, allowed the Canadiens to get Lane Hutson.
Hutson, 20 years old, has accumulated 2 points in two NHL game, after having amassed 49 points, including 15 goals, in 38 games this season in the NCAA with Boston University.
As for Brett Kulak, the 30-year-old defenseman gathered 15 points in 80 games this season for the Oilers, with a plus-minus of +3 and an average of 15 minutes of playtime per game.
He has become a good 5-6th defenseman for them.
