Kent Hughes about to acquire his next 30-goal scorer?
Having good goal scorers is important for all NHL teams, and for the Canadiens, only Nick Suzuki achieved this feat this season.
It's nice to have playmakers, but if there's no one to finish the plays, it's all for naught.
A player from the Buffalo Sabres will be free as a bird on July 1st, and he's a good goal scorer.
Indeed, Victor Olofsson will be an unrestricted free agent, and Kent Hughes will have the chance to sign him.
"Victor Olofsson will be hitting the UFA market and moving on from the #LetsGoBuffalo this summer.
He started his NHL career with them in 2018-19 and is ready for his next chapter."
- David Pagnotta
We're talking about a player who has flirted with 30 goals and who was producing well before Tage Thompson and others took his ice time.
In Montreal, in a top-six role, he could definitely rebound.
He could be the interesting player Kent Hughes acquires during the summer at a very reasonable salary.
