Despite the excellent start to the season by the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes is still on the lookout to improve his team.<\/p>\n
We know the second-line center situation is still unresolved, even if, for now, Oliver Kapanen<\/a> is giving the general manager a bit of breathing room.<\/p>\n A source reveals two names for a trade involving Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens up front<\/p>\n “Montreal has been linked to Nazem Kadri<\/a>, but I also wonder about veterans like Brayden Schenn<\/a> and Ryan O’Reilly as potential targets later in the season.”<\/p>\n – David Pagnotta<\/p>\n Both veterans are in similar situations.<\/p>\n They are 34 years old and play for teams that are struggling at the start of the 2025-26 season, and it’s likely that both St. Louis and Nashville could enter a rebuild at any moment.<\/p>\n Notably, they won the Stanley Cup together with the Blues in 2019, and it’s very likely that the Canadiens’ management would love to bring in veterans who know how to win.<\/p>\n As for salary, Ryan O’Reilly makes 4.5 million dollars until 2027, while Brayden Schenn earns 6.5 million and is under contract until 2028.<\/p>\n Previously on Habs Fanatics<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
