It must be said, Kent Hughes is not idle these days. The Habs are involved in several rumors and this means that the GM is very active in several big files in the NHL. According to information from Jean-Charles Lajoie, which comes from a reliable source and well placed in the business, Hughes could move by the holidays, if everything falls into place. The surplus of forwards and defensemen is a problem right now and it could get worse as the season goes on. As a good manager, Hughes wants to do things the right way, by continuing to fill out the team's future with draft picks, young talent and anything else that could help the Canadiens in the medium and long term. The National League is currently at a standstill in terms of transactions, but normally, it only takes one major transaction to cause a domino effect that will lead to several other moves throughout the NHL. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLCoulisses/status/1597372217716871168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1597372217716871168%7Ctwgr%5E95c042ffa1a73394f685e4af887b497179d117a9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.letsgohabs.com%2FRUMEURS-Kent-Hughes-passerait-enormement-de-temps-au-telephone-et-pourrait-bouger-prochainement-selon-un-expert-181328%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0HxibCjadLCiz1ywc5AbWWYPLj4NbmU09zH10qI0EcY3r7lwLO_dqce0E'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.letsgohabs.com/lnh/nouvelles/RUMEURS-Kent-Hughes-passerait-enormement-de-temps-au-telephone-et-pourrait-bouger-prochainement-selon-un-expert' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vincent Fournier, Let's Go Habs</a>
