The recent hiring of the Canadiens new general manager Kent Hughes has left Montreal fans and players unsure of what the future holds for them and their team. Kent Hughes recently made it very clear the Canadiens are going to attempt to load up on draft picks as well as prospects, while trading away their veterans- a full rebuild.
Expect the same scenario as Claude Giroux, aging closer to retirement each year, and wanting to spend his last few seasons on a winning team- that is NOT rebuilding like the Chicago Blackhawk's are (Fleury), Philadelphia Flyers (Giroux) and now it is looking like the Canadiens make a splash
