The name Tyler Seguin has just been linked to the Canadiens

Although the Canadiens have remained discreet so far, rumors suggest that a new transaction could be on the horizon.

Currently, the Canadiens still need to sign Justin Barron and Arber Xhekaj. Once these signings are completed and with Carey Price placed on the long-term injured reserve list, the team would have about 17 million dollars of cap space remaining.

This provides Hughes with an opportunity to be active on the market, potentially seeking a "bad contract" to acquire, as he did with Monahan.

Names such as Patrik Laine, Jonathan Huberdeau, Tyler Seguin, and Alex Killorn have been mentioned.

Although nothing is confirmed yet, it's clear that Hughes might make another surprising move to strengthen the Canadiens' offense.
