Kent Hughes is in his first role as a general manager in the NHL, and it must be acknowledged that he is doing a very good job with the Canadiens.
Although the results are not yet fully realized, he has done a solid job in rebuilding the organization.
The Canadiens have several promising young prospects. However, in some areas, he is still learning his new role after having been a player agent throughout his hockey career.
In an interview with Tony Marinaro on BPM Sports, the Canadiens' GM discussed a situation where he received a warning from the NHL regarding a potential trade.
«I mentioned that there were several factors to consider [when it comes to the right time to trade a player]. I had also noted that John Klingberg in Dallas [might be available].»
«I was given a warning: ‘We don't talk about players from other teams.'»

The Quebec native has taken this warning to heart. He was cautious in his most recent interview on Quebec sports radio.
