Renaud Lavoie leaked an important information about Kent Hughes' intentions

Kent Hughes got his hands on the imposing right-handed defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic from waivers this Saturday. According to Renaud Lavoie, his shopping spree is not over.

Indeed, Lavoie believes that Kent Hughes will look for another defenseman before the beginning of the season and that he will use the waivers and a transaction to achieve his goals.

His words make sense, as Kent Hughes was supposed to meet with the media on Monday, but the press conference was postponed until Wednesday.

Remember that with the injury to Joel Edmundson, there are still three defenseman spots to fill and six backs available, namely Johnathan Kovacevic, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Justin Barron, Jordan Harris and Otto Leskinen.
