Every time I hear Kent Hughes speak I am impressed. No salesman talk, no cliches, no excuses, just plain talk by a remarkably intelligent hockey executive.

I mean he do some sales talk in press conferences to push some players on the trade block from time to time but in such a subtle and classy way. He is not a peddler for sure, and he is indeed very very smart.

@@TonkyTube Hughes' main problems are of 2 kinds: he has to put up with the Bergevin's legacy in terms of terrible contracts and, ironically, the outnumbered young good players in development.

I wouldn't say drafting a top 20th ranked def as there 6th pick in the best offensive draft of the decade instead of a forward was smart but hey everything else so far is good gignac (doesnt really matter) but shouldn't of been wavered for white i knew before hand and i think hughes was being a bit bias on that 1 but wtv

Kent is the guy ! He's the modern day savard ! Anybody who doesn't see this knows nothing about hockey or how to rebuild a franchise! At the end of the day you need a strong core and futures ! Having a teaching philosophy permits a team to build a real future and maintain it ! Props to Kent he really really gets it !

If Wright went 1st he would be a Bust. Now seing Slaf doing well it looks like he started to work on him and is becomminh what he was expected to be. So the draft went the way it should have.

To accomplish a goal ,one needs a vision, like the Vegas Golden Knights Owner who said at the start of the franchise we will win the Stanley Cup within 7 years and they did. Kent Hugues always says I don't put a time line, he seems to lack confidence and trying to buy time @ several millions/yr for him Gorton & St-Louis. The truth is he hasn't made the playoffs yet and Bergevin brought the Habs to a final

He just fucking got here.. price got the Habs to the final.. bergavin wasted Carey’s entire career p not a single 75+ point player .. your opinion on hockey is comical 😂go watch golf

You have to compare with the champs Vegas won the cup on less than 7 yrs....Get real dude the Habs have only 1 good forward line and the other 3 lines are AHL level that's why they are 26....

Well Kent my man, you and Jeff have done an excellent thus far, but let me be very clear, another season like the last two and we the fans will no longer accept, so this summer will be a key. Maybe you can use your draft picks and a D man to get a TOP 6 FORWARD !

Is it possible that MTL Montreal management does not understand or is willing to accept, that a TOP 4 FORWARD at 6-2/210 pounds with 25 goals and (10.0 hits per 60 minutes) ......... is more valuable than a 5-9/175 pound 30 goal scorer with (2.0 hit per 60 minutes) played.

I don't think most people are buying anything, they just don't care anymore and he does not give any reason to since he has no plan, just some weird hope that anything can happen at the beginning of a season. Starting the season and playing all the games is now seen as something to aspire to.

You should try to get all three from each FORWARD you have in your system or groom them that way ..... SCREW CONCEPTS that target skill only ...... ......
