Canadiens fans were thrilled to see Patrik Laine arriving in Montreal in exchange for Jordan Harris.

Most experts have also been impressed by General Manager Kent Hughes' work since the start of the off-season.
He secured long-term contracts for Slafkovsky and Guhle, and managed to sign Arber Xhekaj at a very reasonable price, according to many.
And of course, Patrik Laine is the cherry on top of Kent Hughes' efforts over the past few months.
However, on his radio show, Martin Lemay took a completely different view on BPM Sports.
«What has Kent Hughes done this summer? He drafted some young players and re-signed his guys. He did his job! How is the Canadiens team better than last year? The CH finished 29th in goals against. What has Kent Hughes done to make the Canadiens allow fewer goals this year? What has he improved defensively? Did he add a coach, a goalie, a defenseman? No, he even made the defense younger.

The Canadiens and Kent Hughes said they wanted to be in the mix for meaningful games in April. How is the Canadiens team better today than last year? At this time last year, you had Kirby Dach and Sean Monahan. Are you telling me that Dach and Laine are better?

- Martin Lemay

Lastly, the host gave Kent Hughes' work between the end of last season and the start of the next a rating of 7 out of 10.
Isn't that a bit harsh?
