Although the Canadiens' training camp is a few days young, Kent Hughes is still working to improve his team for the regular season, which begins on October 12.
At least that's what hockey columnist Marco D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now mentioned. It's worth mentioning that some teams will have to submit some of their players to waivers, and since the Habs finished last overall last year, Hughes will have priority when it comes time to claim a player.
According to D'Amico, it is very likely that the Habs will claim a defenseman, especially since the loss of a certain Joel Edmundson who was injured just before the opening of training camp. The latter is injured in the lower body and his absence is indefinite for now.
