Kent Hughes Is Currently Working on a Trade to Acquire a Young Forward, Says David Pagnotta

We have, of course, seen the major trade for forward Mikko Rantanen, the big trade for J.T. Miller, the deal involving Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, Morgan Frost, and Joel Farabee, the trade for Marcus Pettersson, and more!

According to David Pagnotta, Canadiens GM Kent Hughes also wants to make a move.

In fact, he is actively working on it at the moment.

According to the insider from The Fourth Period, the Montreal Canadiens are looking to acquire another solid young forward, much like they did with Patrik Laine, Kirby Dach, and Alex Newhook.

Here's what has been reported.

This is very interesting! A young forward like Jonathan Lekkerimaki fits this description.

This will be a situation to watch closely in the coming days and weeks, but I absolutely believe it would be beneficial for Montreal to add a young forward who can already contribute while also being a solid piece for the future.

Another name that fits this description is Dylan Cozens from the Buffalo Sabres. And, of course, there is also the well-known Trevor Zegras.
