Kent Hughes still has the assets to make a move similar to Kirby Dach or Alex Newhook, as he has done in the past two seasons.

The Journal de Québec/Montréal published a lengthy article, identifying 7 young forwards that the Canadiens should target in the coming weeks and months:

1) Kent Johnson, C/LW - Columbus Blue Jackets

2) Anton Lundell, C - Florida Panthers

3) Pavel Dorofeyev, RW - Vegas Golden Knights

4) Alexander Holtz, RW - New Jersey Devils

5) Cole Perfetti, C/LW - Winnipeg Jets

6) Jonatan Berggren, RW - Detroit Red Wings

7) Phil Tomasino, RW - Nashville Predators

All of them have roughly the same profile: young, highly talented forwards who may need a fresh start to reach their full potential.
