It's been a few days now, since the major trade involving the Montreal Canadiens was announced.

In exchange for Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick, Kent Hughes has acquired Nathan Légaré and a second-round pick, along with the contracts of Jeff Petry and Casey DeSmith.

What's unusual is that normally, after a trade, the team makes a special announcement to welcome the new additions to the organization. For a significant trade like this one, there's almost always a press conference to engage with the media and provide insight into the trade in question.

However, at the moment with the Canadiens, it's complete silence. No communication has been made to the fans by the team, and Hughes has still not spoken to the media about it.

"Kent Hughes, Jeff Petry, and Casey DeSmith still haven't spoken to the media (or directly to fans via social media).

The trade was completed 4 days ago."

So, what's happening within the Canadiens? Although the GM is reportedly active in the trade market trying to find takers for the new acquisitions, it's still quite odd that nothing has transpired, both in terms of a trade and in terms of communications.

Let's just say that the organization's desire to become more transparent to the team's fans is once again lacking.

Moreover, as testified by Charles-Alexis Brisebois from DLC, even for those involved, like Jeff Petry's wife, who posts on Instagram repeatedly, still hasn't updated her profile. She also hasn't made any posts related to her husband's trade, despite being normally very active on social media.

It's quite an uncommon situation, both for a sports organization to have had no public reaction after over four days and for the players involved in the trade.

Is it because a trade is taking longer to finalize or because it's about to be realized? We assume that we'll have the answer in the coming days.
