Friedman said there is a minor obstacle due to an injured player, or at least a player who is feeling discomfort.
"So here's what I think is going on with the SJ/NJ trade: one of the players involved (not a major piece) is injured... teams are trying to work it all out."
Moreover, rumors that a third team is involved in the trade are becoming increasingly serious.
This gives hope to Montreal Canadiens fans who hope that Kent Hughes will be involved.
