Artturi Lehkonen's future in Montreal: Kent Hughes speaks out and reveals his plan

Less than two weeks before the NHL trade deadline, rumors are heating up, especially since several Habs players are available, according to the majority of insiders. (and that makes sense too, considering the team's new direction)

In the end, beyond the rumors, there is one person whose opinion and comments really matter: Kent Hughes.

The GM of the Montreal Canadiens agreed to comment on some rumors and some hot topics. Hughes spoke to Sportsnet reporter Eric Engels to talk about the trade deadline.

First of all, the Habs' GM admitted that he has several discussions (for a trade) currently, but that the market remains cautious.


Asked about a potential trade involving Artturi Lehkonen, Kent Hughes answered clearly this:


Basically, he seems to confirm that Lehkonen could leave, for the right offer (like Toffoli), and this is the case for several players.

It will be really interesting to watch, by March 21st.
