Insider David Pagnotta has just published an important update regarding the Montreal Canadiens and the NHL trade market.
One thing is certain, he confirms that Kent Hughes is actively working on deals and staying busy on the phone.
«Although it's often said around the NHL that Hughes is always on the phone and engaged in various discussions with other clubs regarding a trade, a transaction before Friday doesn't seem imminent.
Montreal has recently been linked to Anaheim, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and Edmonton.
The Canadiens also have defenseman David Savard, who is in the final year of his four-year contract and has drawn interest from several teams this season.»

So, there's definitely action happening behind the scenes.
Kent Hughes is involved in multiple trade discussions, with four teams in focus
It will be intriguing to see what comes of it and, most importantly, whether any of these discussions will lead to an actual trade.
I'm also curious to know more specifics about the conversations with these four teams.
With the Anaheim Ducks, is Trevor Zegras still the topic of discussion?
A few days ago, we learned that Zegras wasn't too happy with the Ducks' decision to move him to the wing as he prefers playing centre. This obviously sparked more trade rumours.
With the Pittsburgh Penguins, could it be about Kris Letang? Or a younger defensive defenseman like Marcus Pettersson or Ryan Graves?
With the Edmonton Oilers, could it be about David Savard?
One thing is clear, the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens seems to be laying the groundwork ahead of the NHL trade deadline, and we love to see it.
In your opinion, what should be the top priority for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton on the trade market right now?
