As we reported to you earlier today, the Montreal Canadiens held an interesting mid-summer press conference.

And yes, Kent Hughes made a very interesting second call before finalizing this deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Before closing the deal, as shown in the video clip, Kent Hughes contacted his captain Nick Suzuki by phone, to make sure he was in favor of the trade and to ensure it would be a good thing for the locker room in Montreal.

Suzuki immediately agreed and was very excited about the acquisition.

Also in the video, we see Patrik Laine share his vision of the trade, and mention how much he wanted to come to Montreal – and only to Montreal.

You can view how it all went down right here.

It gives a whole new perspective on this major trade.
