The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, just revealed to journalist Pierre LeBrun that he is indeed working on closing a trade.
As the Habs want to start "turning the corner" with their rebuild, Hughes confirmed that he is active and will try to finalize a deal before the draft.
He's trying, anyway!
Hughes confirms that he would like to acquire a top-6 forward through a trade, and from what we hear, he is targeting the acquisition of a winger.

Stay tuned for more.
Let's not forget Kent Hughes' history at the draft, having closed two major trades in two drafts. (Acquisitions of Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook)
