Trade Between CH And Pittsburgh: We Have Just Learned That Kent Hughes Made A Very Interesting Call After The Acquisition Of Casey DeSmith

As part of the trade concluded Sunday between CH and Pittsburgh, goaltender Casey DeSmith arrived in Montreal, and this has raised many questions about the goaltending situation.

Immediately after the announcement of the acquisition of DeSmith, the Canadiens' general manager hurried to call Samuel Montembeault's agent to reassure him.

"After surprising everyone by acquiring Casey DeSmith, Kent Hughes quickly called Samuel Montembeault's agent to reassure him and tell him that the Quebec goaltender didn't have to worry about his position."

- Simon-Olivier Lorange

"Kent was super straightforward. Practically as soon as the trade was done, he spoke with my agent to tell him not to worry me. It's nice that he took the time to do that."

- Samuel Montembeault

Case closed, then! Montembeault is firmly in place as CH's goaltender, and we are already looking forward to seeing him back in action in a few weeks.
