As part of his thank you message, the first person Bergeron thanked was: none other than Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes, who is also his former agent.
"...I would like to thank my former agent Kent Hughes..." - Patrice Bergeron on receiving his 5th Selke. My ears thought it was weird.
- Marc-André Perreault, TVA Sports
It says a lot about the relationship between the two men and the impact Hughes had on the Bruins' Quebec forward.
