Kent Hughes to make massive off-season trade: Sportsnet officially comments
Even though Kent Hughes has been relatively quiet in the free agent market so far, with Alex Barré-Boulet being his only acquisition, more is to come.
It should not be assumed that the general manager of the Canadiens is not looking for reinforcements on offense.
In recent weeks, numerous rumors have linked the names of Patrik Laine, Martin Necas, Trevor Zegras, and Rutger McGroarty to the Canadiens. As reported by the site Marqueur, a Sportsnet journalist named Ryan Dixon stated that the Canadiens are still looking for a high-impact forward.
Another summer acquisition for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens? It's being discussed
Kent Hughes has clearly not said his last word.
Dixon also highlighted that the organization has many promising young defensemen who could be involved in a trade for a forward.
Let's say this isn't the first time this claim has been mentioned over the past few months, and at times, it feels like politics and constantly repeating the same tape.
But it is worth noting that Kent Hughes likes to do his shopping during the summer, as was the case with the acquisition of Sean Monahan and the trade of Jeff Petry in the summer of 2022, and it is quite possible that this scenario will repeat itself again in the coming weeks.
I still believe that a trade with the Winnipeg Jets for the young Rutger McGroarty is the most likely and realistic possibility (more than those involving Martin Necas or Trevor Zegras).
