We just learned that Kent Hughes will trade his 5th pick under one condition
The general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, will agree to discuss trading his 5th overall pick in the first round under one condition.
According to the reputable David Pagnotta, after discussions with other NHL teams, Hughes could indeed trade his 5th overall pick under one condition.
«More and more people believe that Cayden Lindstrom is ranked highly on the Canadiens' list, and if he is not available at the fifth pick, Hughes might trade the pick,» added Pagnotta. We can imagine that this statement also applies to young Ivan Demidov.
If Cayden Lindstrom is not available at the fifth pick, Kent Hughes might make a move in the trade market
At least, that's what NHL teams believe.
One thing is certain, «Kent Hughes' strategy is arousing the curiosity of other National Hockey League teams,»as reported by TVA Sports network.
We are eagerly awaiting the answer, in about two weeks, live from Las Vegas.
If Cayden Lindstrom AND Ivan Demidov are unfortunately drafted in the top-4 and are no longer available at the Canadiens' 5th pick, what would you do if you were in Kent Hughes' position?
Cayden Lindstrom, 18, is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound center who has a solid 46 points (27 goals) in 32 games this season in the WHL. (66 penalty minutes)
A scenario to keep in mind for the first round of the 2024 National Hockey League draft.
