The role of the new goaltender Hughes is now known
This morning, Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens announced the signing of goaltender Connor Hughes.
This signing has gone relatively unnoticed, but Connor Hughes, a 27-year-old goaltender from London, Ontario, with an impressive frame of 6 feet 4 inches and 231 pounds, had quite a season in Switzerland.
He will evidently back up Jakub Dobes, who had a good season in Laval despite a slow start.
It will be interesting to see Connor Hughes and Kasimir Kaskisuo battle for the backup goalie position with the Rocket.
Hughes had an exceptional season, leading his team to the finals, and he deserves much credit.
There have been many positive comments about him in the last few hours. He has a good frame and is coming off a very strong season.
Anthony Martineau also managed to get comments from one of his opponents last season.

With a goals-against average of 1.73 and a save percentage of 0.940, Hughes dominated the Swiss league, even continuing his excellent performance throughout the playoffs to the finals.
