After stating that Kent Hughes was, along with Kyle Dubas of the Pittsburgh Penguins, one of the most active general managers in the NHL on the trade market, the TSN informant revealed another intriguing piece of information.
He stated that he thinks something is brewing between the Canadiens and the Penguins.
See what he said on TSN 690:
To support his point, Dreger mentioned that the Penguins have been watching the Habs on numerous occasions in recent weeks.
Even Dubas, the team's GM, has attended several Canadiens games in person since the start of the season.
That adds some spice to the possibility of a trade between these two teams.
Let's remember that the situation is difficult in Pittsburgh: the team has a record of 7-11-4 after 22 games, and a rebuild seems to be considered by the organization.
According to various sources, there would be few, if any, untouchables within the Pennsylvania franchise.
The Penguins will certainly be a team to watch between now and the trade deadline, and the Canadiens could take advantage of it to make a major move.
