As the draft approaches, the names of Trevor Zegras and Martin Necas are circulating everywhere. Would Kent Hughes want to repeat a similar transaction to those of Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook? Here's what he responded:
So basically, yes, but not at any cost. If we understand correctly, he wouldn't let go of big prospects to improve the club in the short term. Thus, players like David Reinbacher, Lane Hutson, and Logan Mailloux are unlikely to be involved in a transaction.
The plan is still in place, but next season, Kent Hughes is aware that fans will want minimum results, at least to fight for a playoff spot.
