Hughes Opens the Door to Trading Norlinder
Kent Hughes recognizes the possibility of eventually trading Mattias Norlinder, given the organization's depth in defense.
"We know we have an NHL player (with Norlinder). Does that mean we'll make space for him or trade him for something?" - Kent Hughes, on Mattias Norlinder
What's interesting here is that it wasn't even the journalist who brought up the potential trade involving Norlinder. Hughes himself broached the subject.
For instance, he might trade Norlinder + a draft pick for a solid impact forward.
