Montreal Canadiens: The Price to acquire Ducks' 2nd pick is now known

We know that Kent Hughes is currently working to get ahead of his draft rank and that his main dancing partners are the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks.

In fact, the CH general manager is said to be very aggressive in his offers, being prepared to pay dearly to achieve his goals.

Mathias Brunet spoke to a well-informed source in the NHL, who provided him with a very precise charter that sets out the trading parameters.

For the Ducks' 2nd overall pick, Kent Hughes is expected to give the 5th and 31st picks. For the Sharks' 4th overall pick, the GM is expected to give away the 5th and a 2nd round pick.

These are very reasonable prices for such a promising draft, which leads us to believe that Hughes will have to give a little more. However, it gives us a good idea of what the "basis" of the negotiation would be.
