Star Centreman to Join the Canadiens? Kent Hughes Will Make His Official Decision Today
There's a big case to watch in the NHL today!
Let's remember that yesterday afternoon, we witnessed a major twist in the National Hockey League, as the Washington Capitals placed forward Evgeny Kuznetsov on waivers.
A big surprise.
Kuznetsov Acquisition: Who Will Be the Lucky One?
Will it be the Hershey Bears? The Anaheim Ducks? The Arizona Coyotes or the Montreal Canadiens?
We will have the answer at 2 p.m. today.
Kent Hughes will be specifically watched in this case because he is one of the very few NHL GMs who can afford to add a contract of 7.8 million dollars per year.
Kuznetsov scored 55 points last season, and 79 points the season before. He was probably the MVP of the Caps during their Stanley Cup win.
Details to follow.
A big decision for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton to make, with an opportunity that doesn't come around often but comes with risks.
And you, would you claim Evgeny Kuznetsov?
Could Hughes claim him only to trade him at 50% of his salary in a few days?
