Welcome back to the Hockey Inside/Out newsletter, where the Montreal Canadiens made a big splash at the NHL Draft and might not be done with free agency looming.
"Hughes has now reached a point where he is no longer making trades to acquire draft picks and prospects. Instead, he’s giving those things up to acquire a proven NHL player like Dobson, who is in the prime of his career."
