At a press conference yesterday following the NHL trade deadline, general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, made several statements.
One of the interesting statements that went under the radar was when he mentioned that he was planning to do the same as in past years, being a seller and trading his pending free agents (Christian Dvorak, David Savard, and Joel Armia).
