An intriguing development has just been announced involving Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens on the trade market, just days before the draft.
Josh Anderson's name has just been placed on the list of players to watch for a potential trade by Friday. Wow.
This news wouldn't have been all that surprising last year or even the year before, but it is surprising today.
Josh Anderson Placed on the Trade Market: Kent Hughes Listening to Offers
At least, that's what's being revealed by insider David Pagnotta's list.
The full list is right here, but essentially, Josh Anderson clearly impressed other NHL teams late in the season and in the playoffs.
He's once again among the Canadiens players drawing significant interest on the trade market, so it's only natural to hear that Kent Hughes is taking calls on him.
The recent playoffs were a reminder of just how valuable Anderson can be to an NHL team!
This is definitely a major situation to watch for Canadiens fans-especially between now and Saturday.
At 31 years old, Josh Anderson recorded 27 points in 81 games this season, including 15 goals, plus one point in five playoff games.
That said, his impact on the ice and in the locker room goes far beyond the stats.
