The free-agent market opened on Saturday, and most of the big names have been snapped up. But that's no reason for Kent Hughes to take a vacation, as he's been very busy in the last few hours. Indeed, the Habs GM made four acquisitions/signings today, mainly to help the Laval Rocket. But be warned, there are some very interesting names in the bunch. <b>Strauss Mann, goaltender</b> Solid goaltender who has wowed the gallery in the NCAA and Sweden's top league. A 24-year-old prospect for whom the NHL is far from impossible. <b> Tobie Paquette-Bisson, defenseman</b>. A career AHL player, Tobie is back with the Rocket after a one-year stint with the Reign. He is a stable defenseman. <b>Jakov Novak, forward</b> Big 6'3 forward who played in the ECHL last year. An interesting project for the Rocket. Last but not least: <b>Jared Davidson, forward</b> Drafted in the 5th round in 2022, Davidson was breathtaking in the WHL last year with 82 points in 59 regular-season games, plus 23 points in 19 playoff games. A very eventful day for Kent Hughes! <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>The Rocket agree to terms on a one-year, one-way AHL contract with defenseman Tobie Paquette-Bisson and goaltender Strauss Mann.<br>Details: <a href=https://t.co/SUlVnq6aem>https://t.co/SUlVnq6aem</a><br><br>Rocket agree to terms on a one-year, one-way AHL contract with defenseman Tobie Paquette-Bisson and... <a href=https://t.co/ZjP1EmTb55>pic.twitter.com/ZjP1EmTb55</a>- Rocket de Laval (@RocketLaval) <a href=https://twitter.com/RocketLaval/status/1675957788684562433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 3, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>The Rocket agree to terms on a one-season, one-tier contract with forwards Jared Davidson and Jakov Novak. <br>Details: <a href=https://t.co/SUlVnq6aem>https://t.co/SUlVnq6aem</a><br><br>Rocket agree to terms on a one-year, one-way AHL contract with forwards Jared Davidson and Jakov Novak. <br>Details:... <a href=https://t.co/OMfk3Que9B>pic.twitter.com/OMfk3Que9B</a>- Rocket de Laval (@RocketLaval) <a href=https://twitter.com/RocketLaval/status/1675957784888721410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 3, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8>
