HABS UNDER PRESSURE?! Does Kent Hughes Need To React?

The Florida Panthers have made a blockbuster move by acquiring Brady Tkachuk, and now the spotlight shifts to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens. Does this trade put pressure on the Canadiens to make a major move of their own this summer? Or should Hughes and Jeff Gorton stick to the long-term plan that has helped build one of the NHL's most exciting young cores? In today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, we break down what Brady Tkachuk joining the Panthers means for the Eastern Conference, whether the Canadiens need to react, and how Montreal's salary cap flexibility could factor into their offseason strategy. We also discuss the culture Martin St. Louis, Kent Hughes, and Jeff Gorton have worked hard to create, and whether chasing a splashy move is worth risking the foundation that's been built around Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Ivan Demidov, Juraj Slafkovsky, Lane Hutson, and the next generation of Habs stars. Should Montreal stay patient or push their chips into the middle?
