The Montreal Canadiens and Kent Hughes remain highly attentive to the NHL trade market.

The general manager is open about his desire to add offensive talent to his team.
In a recent interview in Slovakia, Filip Mesar, the Canadiens' second first-round pick in 2022, discussed his upcoming season and the fact that his name has come up in various trade rumors.
Filip Mesar has been frequently mentioned in rumors linking him to the Winnipeg Jets in a trade involving the young talent Rutger McGroarty.
McGroarty doesn't seem destined to play for the Jets, and a first-round pick is appealing to teams like the Canadiens. A trade involving both young players makes a lot of sense upon reflection.
Kent Hughes will likely need to include a draft pick, but the basis for a trade is there. 1+1 makes 2, right?
Here is what Filip Mesar said in the interview:
«I should be joining the Canadiens in mid-August. They called me and said they would like me to come earlier to prepare with the coaches before camp.

I have no idea where the information about Winnipeg came from or who wrote it. The same day it was mentioned, I was arranging my flight tickets to Montreal. Nobody at the team has talked to me about a trade.

Of course, it could still happen; the NHL is a business above all. But I have no information about it. It is interesting to note that nothing has been mentioned in Canadian media, and here in Slovakia, we are not aware of anything regarding this rumor.»
