The first player targeted by Kent Hughes this summer finally revealed? It would be a big Swedish defenseman
According to Frank Seravalli's information, a new young player, a right-handed defenseman named Hardy Haman Aktell, is generating interest from several NHL teams including the Montreal Canadiens.
Aktell was drafted 108th overall by the Nashville Predators in 2016, but he is now a free agent and possesses very interesting potential. During the season in Sweden's top league, Aktell recorded 36 points, including 9 goals, in 51 games - a remarkable performance considering the low number of goals scored in that league.
As the second highest scorer on his team, Aktell demonstrated exceptional productivity for a defenseman of his young age. In summary, the rare qualities of a high-quality right-handed defenseman make Aktell a coveted target for several NHL teams.
It is worth monitoring this situation closely, as the acquisition of Hardy Haman Aktell could be a valuable asset in strengthening the depth and talent on the right side of the team's defense.
The addition of Aktell could prove to be a pleasant surprise for the Montreal Canadiens, or an excellent acquisition for the Laval Rocket. In any case, this name deserves to be remembered for the future.
