Yes, the Canadiens are looking for one – in an ideal world – between now and the start of the season. But let's just say that Kent Hughes isn't the only guy on the case, we agree.A top-6 center who's young and talented is an asset in demand.And there's something worth mentioning: if Carey Price leaves, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Canadiens will be able to take the financial hit and put him on a center. Why? Because it goes back to the basic problem, which has been in place since the start of the summer: who's available on the market? But hey. Given that NHL executives are currently in Detroit and it's easy to gossip, that means the rumours are back in full swing. And one name that's circulating: Mason McTavish.

However, the word on the street is that the Ducks and the player, who have yet to agree on the terms of a new contract, are not at the divorce stage. In other words? A deal isn't imminent, but that hasn't stopped executives and agents from talking about it. Many are wondering whether the Ducks are close to giving in and putting the player on the market. Obviously, this will depend on the state of negotiations. But in any case, people know that the Habs are looking for a second-line center for the future.
