At a press conference earlier today, to review his 2024 trade deadline, General Manager Kent Hughes revealed several very interesting pieces of information.
Kent Hughes received calls for other players including at least one young player!
We would have liked to be behind the scenes to know exactly what was discussed today, but we imagine these are discussions that could be picked up at the draft.
However, even though the Canadiens listened to offers for other players, the offers were clearly not enough.
"We received calls for other players, but we indicated that we were not interested in trading them, for the most part. We still stated that we were ready to listen to offers, but the offers never came." - Kent Hughes
Via Anthony Martineau, from TVA Sports:
I believe we can be satisfied with the work of Kent Hughes, especially following the trade of
Jake Allen and the acquisition of the first-round pick,
Jacob Perreault. (whom we really like)
We should expect the Canadiens' GM to be active again at the reopening of the trade market, as he did with
Kirby Dach as well as with
Alex Newhook.
He himself mentioned that he was a seller at the trade deadline, but he will definitely be a buyer at the draft. He will try to acquire young talents.
To be continued in a few weeks/months, then!
