See what will remain on Kent Hughes and the Canadiens' salary cap

Arber Xhekaj has been signed, and it's an interesting deal for Kent Hughes.

Less than $1.5 million per season for a duration of two seasons—$1.3 million to be precise.

Justin Barron is now the only remaining restricted free agent for the Canadiens.

By signing Xhekaj to this contract, the general manager will benefit from a substantial amount of cap space still available.

We're talking about nearly $6 million, which will allow Kent Hughes to work on his roster for the upcoming campaign.

Quebec-born Hughes is known for his skill in managing the salary cap.
