MAJOR: Massive News for Kent Hughes After Big Trade Between the Avalanche and Flyers
We had a lot of action today in the NHL as well as several trades announced.
It looks promising for tomorrow, and Kent Hughes is likely to join the action any minute now.
Speaking of which, a trade concluded today by the Philadelphia Flyers is very interesting for the GM of the Montreal Canadiens.
If Sean Walker is worth a 1st round pick, David Savard is worth more than a 1st round pick!
The Philadelphia Flyers indeed traded defenseman Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche today in return for a first-round pick and center player Ryan Johansen whom they immediately placed on waivers).
As reported by my colleagues at Marqueur.com, with this trade, Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens now know what to expect regarding David Savard.
The organization could officially get a first-round pick for its veteran, at the very least.
And especially if the CH takes on a contract, it could be more!
Walker, 29 years old, has accumulated 89 points in 295 career NHL games and earns $2.65 million per year until 2024.
Savard, 33 years old, has accumulated 218 points in 775 career NHL games and earns $3.5 million per year until 2025.
Both are right-handed.
