When Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes traded Tyler Toffoli, he signalled two things: one, he’s not going to shy away from tough decisions and two, he’s not going to waver from his focus on the team’s future.
During the press conference discussing the Toffoli trade, he said that the fact that the team is where it is in the standings the decision to sell is easy. That much is true. He mentioned Ben Chiarot and Jeff Petry both by name and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they are potential trade pieces.
There will be others.
