Ever since the team acquired Jeff Petry, several rumors mentioned that Kent Hughes was actively trying to trade him. Although these were just speculations and there was no confirmation of this, the Canadiens have now definitively shown their hand regarding the veteran defenseman.
In essence, on its official website, the Tricolore published an article with the very revealing title: "The Habs are trying to trade Petry."
While we're not surprised that the 35-year-old American is on the market, it's still quite astonishing to see the CH confirm such a trade rumor.
It's refreshing to see this rare transparency from the Montreal organization!
