The Patrik Laine situation with the Canadiens has continued to evolve significantly. Recent information indicates that Kent Hughes is actively involved in discussions.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are also looking to move Laine after he requested a trade to the new general manager, Don Waddell.
According to David Ettedgui, a former player agent and BPM Sports columnist, the Canadiens have revived talks regarding Laine and a deal could materialize soon.
The Canadiens have yet to make a move to bolster their offensive talent. They have been linked to rumors involving Martin Necas, Trevor Zegras, and Rutger McGroarty, but nothing has materialized for Kent Hughes.
