Eric Engels announces Kent Hughes' next home run

He highlighted Hughes' trend of making a major acquisition each summer, citing recent examples such as Kirby Dach, Michael Matheson, Alex Newhook, and Patrik Laine.

The article raises the question of the next big acquisition for the summer of 2025, following the potential end of the team's rebuilding phase.

Engels suggests that Mikko Rantanen could be a potential target, though his future in Colorado seems likely.

He notes that if Rantanen remains available, Hughes might try to acquire him; otherwise, other veteran players could be considered.

Hughes has already mentioned that the summer of 2025 will be crucial for the Canadiens, and pursuing a major acquisition could mark a key step in their rebuilding process.
