Kent Hughes became a general manager of an NHL team for the first time when he accepted Jeff Gorton's offer to become the Montreal Canadiens' general manager.

The Quebec native has been doing well under the circumstances. His plan to rebuild the team's prospect pool and organizational foundations is ongoing, and the future looks promising for the Canadiens' fans.

When he took over from Marc Bergevin, Kent Hughes had quite a bit of work to do to address the Canadiens' salary cap situation.

The renowned site The Athletic recently assessed all the contracts of each NHL team, evaluating their work with the salary cap.

It shows that the Canadiens have made a significant improvement, moving up 10 spots in one year. The team has risen from 26th to 16th place, according to The Athletic.

The Canadiens and Kent Hughes received an overall grade of "B-" for their management of contracts and the salary cap. A good step forward!
