The Montreal Canadiens are indeed on the verge of losing the rights to one of their prospects.
Unless there's a major twist, as of this Sunday, Kent Hughes will lose the rights to goaltender Joe Vrbetic.
Each year, June 1 is a fairly important date, as it's when many unsigned NHL prospects are officially released.
It's the date when NHL teams lose the rights to certain prospects who remain unsigned. In other words, their rights expire.
Prospect Joe Vrbetic will be released by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens this Sunday, barring a huge surprise
It's worth noting that the Canadiens are already well-stocked at the goaltending position.
Kent Hughes therefore has until Sunday to sign Vrbetic, but there is no real expectation that it will happen.
Only 22 years old, Vrbetic is a 6-foot-6, 186-pound goaltender who was drafted 214th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2021 (7th round).
With the Trois-Rivières Lions this season, he posted a goals-against average of 0.81 and a save percentage of .957.. in two games.
Vrbetic also has four career starts with the Laval Rocket (4.05 GAA / .871 save percentage).
More details to follow.
