In the past few minutes, Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes held a press conference live from Toronto.
It was, in fact, the first general managers' meeting of the season today in Toronto, and there were several discussions about possible trades.
David Pagnotta also believes that Kent Hughes himself is at the center of talks involving a more significant trade.
"David Pagnotta: I know there's a willingness from Montreal's side to explore the big fish, and if there's another opportunity to add... up front, another big fish, I think [Montreal] will be at least be part of the discussion."

The Canadiens' GM answered questions from reporters, and was of course, asked about the possibility of a major upcoming trade.
Speaking from Toronto, he notably revealed the following:
"Yes, it certainly buys us some time," Hughes said as he left a meeting gathering all the general managers at a hotel in Toronto. "The more time we have, the more information we'll have about our team."

Hughes also admitted that he's been quite impressed by his team's start to the season, that he didn't expect this back in the summer, and that he might have to "reward" his players sooner than planned.
"I couldn't say we expected this during the summer, but we're happy with the way the team is playing. We're playing in a much more mature way than what we've seen in the past," Hughes said.
It will definitely be interesting to follow in the coming weeks!
