Just prior to the NHL Draft, Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes is looking to create options. Do his plans include Pierre-Luc Dubois? Listen to the Canadiens Connection podcast episode 249.
On this week's Canadiens Connection podcast, we discuss reports that Kent Hughes has been engaged in trade talks with numerous teams looking to expand his Draft options to trade up or trade down from the fifth overall pick in the NHL Draft.
This news came during a week where the Canadiens shored up their depth at center by re-signing Sean Monahan to a one-year contract.
We were pleased to discuss the Pierre-Luc Dubois situation from a Jets perspective with Winnipeg reporter Murat Ates who joined us as a special guest.
Will Hughes' Draft day plans include Dubois, Matvei Michkov, Will Smith or none of the above?
