Kent Hughes will have plenty of play under the salary cap over the next two seasons, and several impact players could be as free as a bird. Let's just say that this coincidence helps increase the rumour mill. The CH has a nice bank of prospects, but something is missing. It's as if a five-course meal came with two appetizers, but no dessert. It lacks flavor, and that's in the attack. There aren't any highly talented prospects with the potential to score 80 to 100 points in the NHL. According to former player agent David Ettedgui, that's going to have to come through the autonomous players, and his target would be William Nylander. <q>I hope they sign him. They absolutely need a player, and they don't have any in their system right now, who has that extra notch to his game.</q> Ettedgui very much hopes that the CH will get their hands on Nylander, and then become a contender for top honors. What's certain is that he won't be coming to Montreal by way of a transaction. <q> The Leafs are never going to trade him to the Habs. If Toronto can make a deal, he won't come to Montreal. But the problem is, if the Leafs want a good return for Nylander, it has to be a sign-and-trade. But from what I understand, he has very high expectations of his next contract.</q> <div class='youtube_container'><iframe class='youtube_video' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/b37PLfV_zE0' width='100%' loading='lazy' frameborder='0' title='' allow='autoplay; fullscreen' allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
