It's not for nothing that Kent Hughes is appreciated throughout the NHL. He's a perfect gentleman with his players for many reasons. In fact, when the time is right and there's room to sign players, Hughes and Martin St-Louis will lure them to Montreal, there's no doubt about it. For the time being, there are too many players and a good succession to train. Renaud Lavoie had some good news for us about Rem Pitlick. The latter was traded in the major three-team transaction that sent Erik Karlsson to Pittsburgh and Jeff Petry to Montreal. <q>According to Renaud Lavoie's information, Pitlick had indeed recently requested a trade.</q> Pitlick would have been a surplus forward with the CH, but think again if you think he can't help another lineup.
