Former 1st round pick has just been waived: Kent Hughes and the Canadiens could be in the mix

In the last few seconds, we have learned a big surprise news in the NHL waivers.

The Nashville Predators have placed the name of forward and former first round pick of the team in 2017, Eeli Tolvanen, on waivers.

The 23-year-old Tolvanen has four points in 13 games this season with Nashville. In his NHL career, he has 51 points in 135 games.

A decision that has people talking. If Tolvanen surprisingly makes it to Montreal, will Kent Hughes claim him?

It certainly seems possible. More details to come.
