Since Kent Hughes's announcement, fans and experts have been closely scrutinizing to unearth the next promising talent that the Canadiens could acquire through a trade. A clear path seems to be emerging in this quest.
On one hand, the Wild has just put forward a player, Marco Rossi, whose potential is compared to that of Kirby Dach or Alex Newhook. On the other hand, Rossi's team, the Minnesota Wild, is fond of late first-round picks.
In this equation, Kent Hughes could negotiate his late first-round pick, as indicated by Arpon Basu of The Athletic.
Although nothing is confirmed yet, this transaction would be an intriguing compromise for both parties. Rossi, at 22 years old, possesses promising potential and would be an asset for the Canadiens, while the first-round pick would provide the Wild with a budget-friendly option.
