But here, what we are interested in is to know if Kent Hughes will be active by tomorrow at 3pm. After having traded Ben Chiarot and Tyler Toffoli since his arrival as general manager of the Habs, it could well be that he can conclude another one in the next few hours.
According to Michael Russo, who covers the Minnesota Wild, a deal involving Jack McBain is close to being completed and the Habs are among the favourites to get the 22-year-old, who does not want to make a deal with the Wild.
