Former coach reveals players he would trade to acquire a star forward

The Habs' blue line is deep, and many believe that Kent Hughes should start trading names like Logan Mailloux or Lane Hutson.

The names that most often come up regarding a next trade are those of Jordan Harris and Justin Barron. However, the return wouldn't be very large, although Barron could have some value as we mentioned recently.

On his part, former NHL player Éric Bélanger analyzed the situation. According to him, there would only be two untouchables: Lane Hutson and Kaiden Guhle


He would thus be open to trading David Reinbacher, Logan Mailloux, or Arber Xhekaj if the offer was good.


Returning to the two untouchables, here's what the former coach of the Trois-Rivières Lions had to say:



These revelations will raise eyebrows, especially regarding Hutson, as many people think that due to his size, he may not perform well in the NHL. As for Guhle, others fear his fragility and would like to take advantage of his current value to acquire a big forward. His name has even been linked to someone like Trevor Zegras

Trading such a defenseman could also allow acquiring a Martin Necas or a Kent Johnson.
