Kent Hughes' press conference : divorce papers between Montreal and Jeff Petry are now ready
It was a very busy day yesterday for the Montreal Canadiens' organization, while GM Kent Hughes gave a very transparent press conference.
He confirmed that Ben Chiarot will be in another uniform by the trade deadline.
Another topic that caused a lot of reaction (again) is Jeff Petry. First see what Hughes had to say about him, as reported by Luc Gélinas:
A statement that says a lot and confirms many things. Hughes was so direct, it even surprised a few:
As the excellent Marc-André Perreault of TVA Sports said, «clearly, the divorce papers between Montreal and Jeff Petry are ready, all that remains is to sign them."
Plus, yesterday, Petry was invited to comment on these very direct comments from his GM, in front if the media, and he refused to talk to the media.
One thing is certain, Hughes' comments are REALLY different from Marc Bergevin's "I don't talk about these things publicly".
