It specifically talks about a trade negotiated between the Montreal Canadiens and the Nashville Predators (between Kent Hughes and Barry Trotz), which ultimately was never completed.
Kent Hughes met with Kaiden Guhle about a trade involving a forward
A little later in the episode, we actually see the Canadiens' general manager meeting with his defenseman, Kaiden Guhle, to ask him for information on a forward he was trying to acquire.
Perhaps a former teammate?
The name is censored, but it's obvious that it sparks a lot of curiosity!
"Guhle mentions that it's a very good player who is excellent on both sides of the ice.
He even calls him an indefatigable monster.
Strong as a horse, good offensively, smart and capable of making good plays, he was producing at nearly a point-per-game pace at the time of the conversation in question.
Standing about 5'11"/185 lbs according to Guhle's description, he also described him as rugged."

It's another trade that never materialized, but it shows just how active Kent Hughes is on the trade market.
