Transaction between the Canadiens and the Ducks involving Trevor Zegras: Kent Hughes has the green light
The Canadiens have the luxury of being in strong financial health, with owner Geoff Molson being very wealthy, and Kent Hughes can take advantage of this.
Not only does the organization have no revenue issues, but it is also well-managed, and its finances have never been at risk.
This is why the salary cap is not a problem. Geoff Molson willingly allows Kent Hughes to approach the cap, even if the team is in a rebuilding phase.
According to Marco D'Amico, this situation confirms that Kent Hughes has not completed his summer work. He is looking to either add an active player or receive compensation for taking on a bad contract.
They might have $5.5 million in reserve or whatever that amount is, but being able to use Price's contract to give them an additional $10.5 million opens up a world of possibilities."
With nearly $16 million in cap space, Kent Hughes has a lot of maneuvering room. Names like Patrik Laine and Trevor Zegras stand out, and it's easy to see why.
In the case of Trevor Zegras, a trade that would have brought him to Montreal fell through during the draft, which involved Logan Mailloux and the 21st overall pick.
Will Kent Hughes be tempted to bring such an offer back to the table? Will he consider taking on a last big contract like Patrik Laine's?
What is certain is that he has Geoff Molson's green light and will not stop his search until he has spent that money and improved the Canadiens.
