Pierre LeBrun confirms Kent Hughes is on the phone to make a trade
Fans, columnists and journalists have been disappointed with the performance of the Montreal Canadiens since the start of the season.
And we can understand, especially since the heads of the team, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, talked to us about being in the mix this season.
Currently, the CH are not even close, with a record of 2-4-1, good for eighth and last place in the Atlantic division. One thing is certain, they are in the mix to get the first overall pick.
In short, we agree, all Martin St-Louis can do to improve his team is to change his lines to try to create sparks.
Kent Hughes' turn to move
Kent Hughes needs to pick up the phone and talk to his general manager counterparts to shake things up. As Pierre LeBrun explained during the Insider Trading segment on TSN, transactions are rare at the start of the season, because teams prefer to first assess their potential.
However, Hughes seems more active than usual on the market, exploring possibilities to shake up the team, as blogger Marc-Olivier Beaudoin well explained.
He doesn't want to sacrifice the future but would still like to improve the current team it seems.

He explores the market without sacrificing the future of the team or compromising the salary structure. The coming days may reveal new options to remedy this difficult start. This will obviously be a file to follow!
