Three-team trade involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Vancouver Canucks: Kent Hughes could acquire one more prospect
The Canucks completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins involving four players yesterday, and they might be doing it again today. At least, that's what David Pagnotta reports about Conor Garland.
