Should Hughes accept these demands to acquire Zegras? Despite the Canadiens' depth on defense, the decision warrants consideration, especially concerning Reinbacher, although Guhle is frequently injured.
The Hockey News reports today that the Ottawa Senators are also interested in acquiring Zegras, along with the Calgary Flames, Philadelphia Flyers, and Montreal Canadiens.
