Highlights and quotes from Kent Hughes’ mid-season press conference

Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes spoke to the media on Wednesday in his first mid-season address. It also comes exactly one year after his hiring was announced.

Kent Hughes was asked how he viewed his first year in the job, and how he felt that Juraj Slafkovsky’s development was handled.

"Hockey is a reactive instinctive game. In Juraj's case we're helping him understand how he can be most successful in North America. We feel his development will happen in stages... We're not worried about the production side of it.
