Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes joins the show!

Today's episode of The DFO Rundown features an interview with Montreal Canadiens General Manger Kent Hughes. It will be a busy summer for Hughes and the Habs and it all starts in a few weeks when of course they'll take to the stage at the Bell Centre and make the first overall pick in the NHL Draft. Kent talked about everything that's been going into the big decision that the team will be making, how they'll approach potential trades this summer, and also the future of Carey Price. On a lighter note, Kent's son Jack is a projected first-round pick this year and Kent talked about how he'll balance being a GM and a Dad this July during the Draft.

Frank and Jason also talked about the Paul Maurice hiring in Florida and their offseason plans. Frank broke the news about an extension for Vegas Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith and talked about how they'll manage their complicated salary cap situation. Tyler Yaremchuk also stopped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell delivered by Door Dash.
