Free agents: it's confirmed and Kent Hughes has a golden opportunity for SB
Kent Hughes is looking for forwards to complete his top 6, and he is doing everything he can to get his hands on a promising and/or established NHL player.
However, he must not neglect the lower part of the lineup, namely the 3rd and 4th lines. Depth is also important, and a forward is now available for free.
Indeed, it's confirmed that Samuel Blais will be available on July 1st as a free agent, just like Marco Scandella. While the Canadiens don't need a defenseman like Scandella, it's quite the opposite for Blais.
The native of Montmagny brings a lot of grit and energy and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He would be a great catch on the free-agent market.
"St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong stated in a press conference on Monday that forward Samuel Blais and defenseman Marco Scandella will have the opportunity to test the market next month." - TVA Sports
Should Kent Hughes make an offer to Samuel Blais's camp?
The forward earned $1 million per year on his last contract and should not expect a significant raise.
