Kent Hughes on the verge of making a major announcement in the coming hours
After a nice 5-4 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday, the head coach of the Canadiens mentioned to journalists that the team would head to Mont-Tremblant to prepare for the last pre-season meeting and also to allow the players to spend time together.
Although he did not indicate if all the players still present at the camp would make the trip, it would not be surprising if the management wanted to bring only individuals who will be on the official list of the Tricolore at the start of the season.
Such a decision would allow the team's players to create real chemistry among them while giving the cut players the opportunity to join the Laval Rocket training camp which started yesterday morning.
Moreover, the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge could have a full lineup for its last game of the preparatory schedule next Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.
We can therefore possibly expect a major announcement at the CH in the coming hours, as the team's general manager, Kent Hughes, could announce the last cuts.
Note that the Canadiens currently still have 31 players on their roster, thus exceeding the NHL limit which is 23.
Among the players who might unfortunately be cut, we notice some names such as Mattias Norlinder, Logan Mailloux, Justin Barron, Gustav Lindstrom, Emil Heineman, Jesse Ylonen, and Cayden Primeau.
One thing is certain, the organization will have a crucial decision to take in the near future, and don't be surprised if it happens during the day or even tomorrow before the team departs for Mont-Tremblant.
