In recent days, rumors have emerged regarding the Montreal Canadiens and their activity in the trade market. It is said that the Canadiens’ general manager is actively engaged in discussions about a significant trade.
Just moments ago, the reliable David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period, along with the well-known Dennis Bernstein, confirmed that Kent Hughes is indeed working to finalize a trade. Pagnotta emphasized that Hughes is actively pursuing deals and that the rumors are legitimate.
The Canadiens find themselves in a unique situation because Hughes is looking to acquire a forward for the second or third line, or a defenseman to strengthen their blue line. However, he is focused on long-term fits for the team and is not interested in temporary fixes.
Conversely, the Canadiens possess assets that could appeal to teams seeking short-term solutions for a Stanley Cup push.
According to David Pagnotta, the insider has identified four key players: David Savard, Joel Armia, Christian Dvorak, and Jake Evans. This situation could lead to some intriguing developments in the trade market involving Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
