“One of the NHL’s worst-kept secrets is that Hughes loves Bruins center Pavel Zacha. Hughes represented Zacha at Quartexx, the agency he only agreed to leave – after much thought – to become GM in Montreal.
Reliable NHL sources tell us that Montreal is not on the list of teams Zacha would refuse a trade to – quite the opposite.
Apparently, there are a few Czech players around the league who dream of playing in Montreal, by the way. I’ll leave it at that.”
