Last-minute major news from the Canadiens: Kent Hughes will be making a trade shortly
Kent Hughes still hasn't spoken to the media after this huge three-team deal. He acquired the services of Jeff Petry, Casey DeSmith and Nathan Légaré.
It's pretty strange that a general manager would remain radio silent for so long after such a major transaction. There's something behind it, and we've just received a major piece of information about what's going to happen next.
Hughes hasn't spoken to the players (Jeff Petry and Casey DeSmith) or their agents. Instead, his assistant called Nathan Légaré.
Kent Hughes still hasn't had any formal communication with Casey DeSmith's agent. And the Habs are awfully quiet about their latest acquisitions.
Everything points to more deals in the pipeline. https://t.co/N3ncpGmqEp- Simon-Olivier Lorange (@SO_Lorange) August 7, 2023
So that means a member of the CH staff has contacted one of the three players acquired, but not the other two. Strange, isn't it?
It does confirm that Petry and DeSmith are on the market and that Kent Hughes is actively trying to trade them. Don't be surprised if an announcement is made in the next few hours.
Like Jeff Petry, DeSmith could obviously leave pretty soon → https://t.co/0DzfWX9qup- DansLesCoulisses (@DLCoulisses) August 7, 2023
