With the Montreal Canadiens offseason underway, players can focus on spending more time with family and resting.
Since the Laval Rocket officially will not participate in the playoffsisn’t much left in the hockey world to sink its teeth into in Quebec, other than the playoffs for the Trois-Rivières Lions.
In his season report, CH general manager Kent Hughes mentioned that there will be no contract buyouts this summer.
However, there are several interesting candidates to buy out, including Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson to name a few.
This statement from the CEO might give some players whose contract buyouts are a possibility a breather by giving those players one last chance, sort of, to raise their game next year.
During Jean-Charles Lajoie’s show on TVA Sports, former NHL defenseman Philippe Boucher was a Alex Reed. He also took the opportunity to launch a prediction regarding CH.
One that has nothing to do with the playoffs, but contradicts what Hughes said in his season report.
“I will make a prediction for you: the Canadian will buy out a contract this summer. » – Philippe Boucher

If he It’s actually an off-season worth making a contract purchase without affecting the club too much in the future, it’s good this year, but I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to do so.
Next year will also be a good time.
Players like Anderson, Gallagher, Christian Dvorak and even Joel Armia might all see their contracts bought out soon.
Armia is the least likely to suffer this fate, because the end of the season gave hope to the supporters of the Habs and certainly to the management as well.
On the other hand, Anderson needs to raise his game a notch, as the buyout of his contract will most likely be Hughes’ main option next summer if he bids for a season like this one.
Still on the show” JiC »Boucher also clarified that he does not want to call Kent Hughes a liar with his claim, but that he believes it would simply be logical.
At the same time, Hughes might not openly say that there will be a contract acquisition this summer.
“These are questions where you can’t always answer exactly what you mean. » – Philippe Boucher
In short, the Canadian’s off-season will be one to watch closely, as there are likely to be more changes.
Let’s see if Kent Hughes deviates from his plan this offseason.
