Canadiens GM Kent Hughes raised eyebrows by flying to Russia this week to visit first-round draft pick Ivan Demidov
Montreal executive vice-president of hockey operations Jeff Gorton says he has “no concern” about members of the Canadiens’ front office travelling to Russia amid the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
Gorton told reporters in Detroit – where the Canadiens will play the Red Wings on Friday – that the trip is strictly for scouting. Russian and Belarusian teams have been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation from events at all levels through at least the 2024-25 calendar due to the ongoing war.
When asked for comment about the trip to Russia, the league referred The Canadian Press back to the Canadiens.
