Report: Getting ready for the NHL’s trade deadline, what to expect from GM Kent Hughes
“What are the plans of Montreal Canadiens’ General Manager Kent Hughes as the NHL trade deadline approaches this Friday at 3 p.m.? Are preparations in place?
Our HI/O Show panel, with Gazette columnist Stu Cowan stepping in as host this week for CBC DayBreak’s Jessica Rusnak, along with former Canadiens players Chris Nilan and Rick Green, alongside hockey analyst Andrew Berkshire, are primed to discuss potential moves by Montreal’s GM before the looming deadline.
The anticipation surrounding the trade deadline can be intense for players, GMs, and journalists alike. Nilan and Green share their experiences of being traded to and from the Canadiens.
The panel also delves into the recent performance of the Canadiens during their four-game road trip, concluding Thursday night in Carolina. They analyze coach Martin St. Louis’s decision to bench forward Michael Pezzetta for the past seven games and speculate on whether David Reinbacher, a first-round draft pick, can transition to the NHL next season after a challenging year with Kloten HC in the Swiss-A league.
