It's confirmed for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens by the Sportsnet network
We are slowly approaching August and Kent Hughes still hasn't acquired that top-six forward he talked about.
Indeed, the Canadiens need to add goals and that won't happen with the status quo; an acquisition is essential to improve the team in the short term.
While the Canadiens won't be contenders for a few years, it's time to climb up the standings and start learning how to win. With such a young team, it's crucial.
Whether it's Trevor Zegras, Rutger McGroarty, Martin Necas, or Patrik Laine, we know the GM has inquired about all these players, but nothing seems to be moving.
It's now confirmed by the Sportsnet network
While one might think Hughes has thrown in the towel, Ryan Dixon of Sportsnet confirms that the GM is still looking to add a forward and a late offseason trade is still on the table.
According to Dixon, there is too much smoke for it to not happen. Hughes has already completed transactions in August, so we know he'll wait to have his price before announcing an exchange and it can happen right before the start of the season.
So keep in mind that a new forward could well arrive in the coming days or weeks. Hughes is still on the case; he hasn't given up.
