We can practically say that it's no longer a rumor and that it's confirmed, Kent Hughes is aggressively trying to move up into the top-4 of the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft.

Several reputable sources confirm this.

Now, the next question is: what is the Canadien prepared to offer?

In an article by TVA Sports, we have a surprising hint of an answer.

Journalist Jonathan Bernier had a discussion with an executive from an opposing NHL team, who confirmed that Hughes is aggressive in his offers.

He is ready to pay dearly!

Next, that's where the source in question drops a huge statement. The name of the young Logan Mailloux has surfaced. Wow.

You guess that this causes a lot of reactions.

More and more information is leaking, and it seems to be understood that Kent Hughes is ready to trade his 5th overall pick, his 31st overall pick, and possibly a young defenseman, to secure the services of Adam Fantilli, Leo Carlsson, or Will Smith.
