As the 2024 NHL Draft approaches, Kent Hughes hints at potential activity on the trading market. Having already orchestrated two significant transactions involving Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach, he suggests that another deal could be in the works.
Journalist Mathias Brunet, from La Presse, suggests that Justin Barron and Jordan Harris may be available for trade. These young defensemen risk not being able to return to the Laval Rocket and could be traded to avoid waivers.
Hughes appears reluctant to lose players to waivers, as was the case with Jesse Ylönen. Barron, recently acquired by Hughes, is a potential surprise. At 22 years old, he has amassed 30 points in 94 NHL games. Harris, 23, with 32 points in 131 games, has never played for the Laval Rocket.
