In the last few hours, we learned about the trade between the Canadiens and the Ducks for the 2020 first-round pick, Jacob Perreault.
It's currently an AHL-level transaction, but it could pay off for Montreal. Perreault is still very young, and his development is far from over.
Moreover, he fits perfectly into the type of player Hughes likes, much like Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook. A young player with great potential, and the shopping may not be over.
We know that the Devils have good depth up front, and they will have to pay to acquire defensemen and a goalie. Holtz seems to be the target, and he has a very promising development curve.
