However, in his most recent press conference, where he showed exemplary transparency, Kent Hughes confirmed a major rumor currently circulating about his team.
With currently four goalies under NHL contracts, the General Manager revealed that one of them would be on his way out. While he mentioned the name of Casey DeSmith as a potential candidate to leave the organization, Hughes played his cards by saying there could be a surprise.
He also made a very interesting revelation by mentioning that there were "certain things in progress he couldn't talk about". Everything seems to point towards a negotiation that could lead to a trade soon with the Canadiens.
With $3.7M over the salary cap for the Canadiens, and since he doesn't want to put Carey Price's contract on the long-term injured list before the start of the next season, it's a safe bet that Hughes' summer work is far from over.
