Trades for Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras: Kent Hughes makes an announcement
As the names of Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras are linked to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens on the trade market, the general manager has spoken.
In an interview with journalist Pierre LeBrun, the general manager of the Canadiens announced his intentions and revealed his plan for the 2024 draft.
Will he try to acquire a forward like Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach, as the names of Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras are circulating abundantly?
See his response.
Basically, he will try, but he will not compromise his rebuild excessively and what has been done in recent years.
Do not think that Hughes will trade a David Reinbacher, for example, to win the derby for Necas or Zegras.
Kent Hughes wants to make moves in the trade market if the right offer presents itself
Hughes, who indeed went after Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook in the last two drafts (via trades), admits that it could happen again this year if the right trade presents itself.
The plan is still to improve the team in the long term, but Hughes is also aware that he needs to get closer to the playoffs as soon as next season.
An extremely interesting interview, which we recommend:
To be continued in the coming weeks!
