Kent Hughes Could Target Surprise Waiver as Former First-Round Pick Available
The waiver list brought a big surprise today with the presence of Jakob Pelletier.
Selected in the first round of the 2019 draft by the Calgary Flames (26th overall), the Quebec forward is now available to all NHL teams.
A situation that directly draws attention from the Montreal Canadiens, as Kent Hughes has often spoken about wanting to add offensive talent developed in Quebec.
Jakob Pelletier on Waivers, a Unique Opportunity for the Montreal Canadiens
At 24 years old, I really think Pelletier has not yet had the chance to fully exploit his potential due to injuries and limited ice time.
Yet, his profile remains extremely interesting for a team looking to build a young and dynamic identity.
Otherwise, we also find Nolan Foote, who was acquired by New Jersey in the Blake Coleman trade in 2020. He is known for his powerful shot and physical style of play.
He could be an intriguing target as Montreal still lacks size and players capable of maintaining a consistent physical presence.
