The Canadiens make their first move on this day of the opening of free agency. Kent Hughes has finally made a move. Fans were disappointed to see key players signing left and right in the NHL. Alex Barré-Boulet joins the Montreal Canadiens organization. The Quebec native has been stuck in the Lightning's lineup for several years. He will have the opportunity to earn his spot at the Canadiens' training camp in September. Hailing from Montmagny, he has played 68 career games in the NHL. If not with the Canadiens, he will be a significant asset for the Rocket in Laval. However, he will have to go through the waiver process. It's a one-year contract. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/renlavoietva/status/1807816244009017634'> </a></blockquote></div>
