In the past few hours, a new episode of the documentary series on the Montreal Canadiens’ rebuild was released on Crave.
We see several very interesting moments, including one in which General Manager Kent Hughes calls up his defenseman Kaiden Guhle for a meeting regarding a forward he was trying to acquire via trade.
Essentially, Hughes spoke with Guhle to learn more about this forward he was attempting to acquire through a trade.
Naturally, we are very curious to know who the targeted forward was, especially since there are several clues.
Five forwards considered for this famous trade discussed between Kent Hughes and Kaiden Guhle
In most cases, when a GM consults a player for information about another NHL player, it’s usually because the player in question was a former teammate.
In other words, there’s a very high chance that the player here was a former teammate of Kaiden Guhle.
The discussion revolves around a very good, complete player described as an “untiring monster,” strong as a horse, offensively skilled, intelligent, and around 5-foot-11 according to Kaiden Guhle’s description to Kent Hughes.
Looking at all of Guhle’s former teammates, including those from Team Canada Junior, there are about five players who fit this description.
Everything indicates that Kent Hughes attempted to acquire one of these five players over the past few months!
Moreover, all five have been mentioned frequently in recent trade rumors.
It’s certainly intriguing!
