Then the Montreal Canadiens went on a run and changed his mind.
The Canadiens lost eight of nine games before last month’s 4 Nations Face-Off. They returned from the two-week break with five straight wins before falling to the Edmonton Oilers in overtime Thursday night. “I promised the players in September that for the first time since I’ve been in Montreal, we didn’t have an established plan before the season, and that their play would be a factor in what we do,” Hughes said. “So today and this week, in a way, we rewarded them for their effort.”
He said he canvassed teams ahead of Friday’s deadline for deals that could help the Canadiens in the future. Some fans also called for Montreal to add a second-line centre after Kirby Dach sustained a season-ending knee injury in February."There's so many teams that are tight to the playoffs like us that did very little in terms of selling off," he said."As a result, the prices were high.
