We are now three days away from the trade deadline and for the occasion, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton just made a decision that gives a serious clue about their intentions, facing this day. Sportsnet's Eric Engels reported that the Hughes-Gorton tandem had made a strategic decision. While the team took off for San Jose for a four-game week on the West Coast, the CH management decided to return home to Montreal to focus 100% on preparations and negotiations for the trade deadline. For those of you hoping for a lot of hard work in the Bell Centre offices over the next few days, this is great news. <q>Off to San Jose, where the Canadiens will begin their California trip. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes will not be on this trip, as they will be making trade deadline preparations directly from their home base. It should be an interesting week. It's already started with the Dadonov -Gurianov exchange. - Eric Engels</q> So that means that the Canadiens work is not done, while the management wants to focus entirely on the trade deadline. So there's a good chance we'll see more personnel moves. between now and March 3, at 3pm. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EricEngels/status/1629914794059866119?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1629914794059866119%7Ctwgr%5E312dddf1e116f4f448fa2d8f689d0f6a610d9c3e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FKent-Hughes-et-Jeff-Gorton-viennent-de-prendre-une-decision-interessante-un-serieux-indice-sur-leurs-intentions-212878'> </a></blockquote></div>
