Reconstruction series: Kent Hughes raised the idea of signing Fleury this summer
Auteur: Michael JohnsonIs anyone bored of the Habs’ three-way battle in front of the net?
It wasn’t ideal for Montembeault’s progression or Primeau’s, and the deal that sent Jake Allen to New Jersey made things easier afterwards. Because let’s face it: two goalies are a lot easier to manage than three.
Speaking of Allen, in the latest episode of the “Reconstruction” series on Crave, we hear Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton discussing when it would be best to trade the goalie.
That said, it’s interesting because Kent Hughes then talks about the possibility of signing Marc-André Fleury on the free agent market during the summer.
Obviously, we don’t have all the information on the discussion between Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
It’s a private matter, and the Habs would never reveal the nitty-gritty details of a discussion like that for obvious reasons.
It wouldn’t be in their best interest to do so, but knowing that Hughes considered the idea of offering Marc-André Fleury a contract is worth sharing.
If the Habs had what it took to make the playoffs, okay… But they’re not there yet.

Nick Robertson hasn’t been perfect in the 87 games he’s played with the Maple Leafs – but he has shown signs of growth, and he can help them get higher in the standings, writes @jtbourne. https://t.co/JJTDaRbGtU
