As things stand currently, the Habs will likely miss the playoffs once again next season. Their core is slowly coming together with
Nick Suzuki,
Cole Caufield, and
Juraj Slafkovsky leading the way. However, the young team is still at least one or two more big pieces away from being true contenders once more. According to new rumors, Kent Hughes may very well be looking to add that next piece as soon as possible. One player he has been rumored to be interested in is Rutger McGroarty from the Winnipeg Jets.
