The Montreal Canadiens are 5-3-0 since the all-star break, putting GM Kent Hughes in a better position to sell again
General Manager Kent Hughes has stayed in Montreal as his Canadiens begin a four-game road trip through the NHL’s Western Conference.
Hughes is in his second season as Montreal’s GM and was very busy at last year’s trade deadline, drastically remaking the Habs’ lineup. He sent winger Arrturi Lehkonen to the Colorado Avalanche for defenceman Justin Barron and a 2024 second-round draft pick. Hughes also dealt blue liner Brett Kulak to the Edmonton Oilers for prospect forward William Lagesson and a 2022 second-round pick which they used to select defenceman Lane Hutson.Montreal already sent forward Evgenii Dadonov to the Dallas Stars in return for fellow Russian forward Denis Gurianov on Sunday. The Habs retained 50 per cent of Dadonov’s US$5-million salary.
Hoffman has another season left on his three-year deal paying him $4.5-million annually. However, the winger has been making the most of his additional minutes with nine points in his last 10 games, including a three assists in a 4-3 overtime win against the New York Islanders on Feb. 11.
