Kent Hughes follows in the footsteps of the Avalanche?

Confirming this strategy before the media, the general manager aims to replicate transactions similar to those involving Kirby Dach or Alex Newhook.

Drawing inspiration from the Colorado Avalanche, Hughes envisions targeted trades, akin to the one orchestrated by Chris MacFarland, exchanging defenseman Bowen Byram for center Casey Mittelstadt.

This strategy aims to address the Canadiens' offensive needs by using promising defensemen as trade currency. Among the potential targets are Trevor Zegras, Cole Perfetti, Marco Rossi, Martin Necas, Peyton Krebs, Jonatan Berggren, and others.

The dossier has piqued the interest of observers and could reshape the team's composition for the upcoming season.
