Kent Hughes said it loud and clear at the end-of-season wrap-up: the Habs won't just play second fiddle next season, they'll fight to make the playoffs. At least, that's the plan. To get there, Kent Hughes has some work to do this summer and he knows it. On his roster, there is one player who could land in Montreal and help the Habs in the immediate future. It is the Lightning player Alex Killorn. The 33-year-old Halifax native is coming off the best season of his career with 64 points, including 27 goals. In addition to speaking very good French, Killorn is the typical player to please Martin St-Louis and play on a top 6 in the short term. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TVASports/status/1648458685021319174?t=WvuEkcW9a22pIlrY8eUR0Q&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> With the Lightning's precarious salary cap situation, there is a good chance that Julien Brisebois will be unable to offer him a contract extension. Killorn would then become a free agent on July 1st.
