Acquisition: Hughes on the verge of signing a former teammate from St-Louis?
In his career, Martin St-Louis played for three NHL teams: the Flames, Lightning, and Rangers.
During his time in Tampa Bay, before moving to New York, he had good teammates like Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson.
Stamkos was linked to the Canadiens several times before ultimately signing with Nashville. Kent Hughes wasn't willing to pay the price to bring him to Montreal, as the amount and length of the contract posed issues.
As for Johnson, he is currently a free agent. He's a solid veteran, and according to Eric Engels, he's been linked to the Canadiens.

Johnson is a small forward with plenty of experience who, even at 33 years old, produces around 50 points per 82-game season.
Kent Hughes could potentially sign him for a reasonable price, with relatively low risk. With the young Canadiens team, Johnson could bring a lot, especially given his Stanley Cup-winning experience.
