Following the major transaction concluded yesterday between three teams, fans of the Montreal Canadiens are once again on high alert.

Or at least, many are hoping to see Kent Hughes take active steps to accelerate the rebuild, improve his lineup, and boost its fortunes, ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft.

There's a lot of buzz behind the scenes!

In this regard, we've had a major development and it's excellent news for fans who want action!

According to renowned Darren Dreger, this is just the beginning!

General managers have been very busy over the last few hours, there have been several discussions about making trades, and this is going to intensify before the draft.

Nothing like a three-way deal to shake up the hockey world. General managers say the week has been very active and it will be even more so leading up to the draft. The salary cap situation seems to encourage a more aggressive approach to making trades.

- Darren Dreger

We love it! Stay tuned, because there could be other major trades in the coming days and weeks.

More details to follow.

Young goaltender Carter Hart could notably change teams soon.
