Remember that, to insert Edmundson in the lineup earlier this week, the Montreal Canadiens placed Evgenii Dadonov on the injured list. A temporary solution, but one that Hughes will have to deal with in the next few hours, either by completing a trade, placing a player on the injured list or sending him back to Laval.
So, if we recap, with Mike Matheson back in the lineup and Evgenii Dadonov back healthy, that's two players Hughes will have to trade, submit to waivers or send back to Laval. (to make room in the lineup)
