Clearly, Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens would very much like to add another top-6 forward before the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Ideally, this other top-6 forward would be a center.. A second-line center!<\/p>\n

That said, it will obviously all depend on the price to pay.<\/p>\n

However, that is absolutely out of the question for the moment.<\/p>\n

Knowing that Kent Hughes will not touch Hage or Reinbacher, what then would he be ready to trade in order to acquire another top-6 forward before the start of the season?<\/p>\n

Marco D’Amico reveals what Kent Hughes would be ready to trade at the moment<\/p>\n

See the excerpt in question, recorded during his most recent segment on BPM Sports.<\/p>\n

“So, the Canadiens would rather make a future-oriented trade, whether it’s picks, whether it’s other prospects (other prospects than Hage and Reinbacher)..”<\/p>\n

Kent Hughes would be ready to immediately trade picks, or other organizational prospects (whose names are not Michael Hage or David Reinbacher).<\/p>\n

One can also think that, unlike in previous years, Hughes and Jeff Gorton would be ready to trade picks from upcoming drafts.<\/p>\n

It will really be interesting to watch over the next few weeks in any case, but clearly, Kent Hughes has not yet finished his summer work.<\/p>\n
