Acquisition and signing: two major announcements by Hughes that make a huge difference today for the Canadiens to replace Dach
As the Montreal Canadiens already need to completely change their game plan and their lines due to the significant injury suffered by Kirby Dach, journalist Anthony Martineau has indeed pinpointed two major decisions made by Kent Hughes this summer that will make a big difference this season. (even more than before)
"Without the immense summer work (two decisions in particular) by Kent Hughes, the Habs would currently be in deep trouble.
Moreover, within the team, many (including MSL) are impressed by their GM." - Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports
Following Kirby Dach's injury, thoughts turn to Kent Hughes's work and these two critical decisions.
The acquisition of Alex Newhook in a trade with the Avalanche, who now has a prominent role in Dach's absence.
The signing of Sean Monahan.
"Without Newhook and Monahan today, the Canadiens would really be in a bind, due to the injuries sustained by Dach and Dvorak." - Martineau
Furthermore, Martin St-Louis and some Habs players had a lot to say about their appreciation of Kent Hughes's work.
Two announcements that indeed take on all their importance this week.
