Kent Hughes reportedly offered two Canadiens prospects in a trade, including a surprise young defenseman

The insider shared that detail on his podcast The Sheet

It is another piece of a puzzle that has fascinated Montreal Canadiens fans for days.

Marek outlined the offer in its entirety.

The new development is that second name.

The identity of the other prospect involved had remained unknown for quite some time.

Marek has now lifted part of the veil.

It appears to confirm information that was recently revealed.

Two prospects involved in a Kent Hughes and Montreal Canadiens offer

While it does not constitute confirmation, it certainly adds weight to that theory.

The rest of the offer was already known.

Zharovsky, the promising forward, along with two first-round picks, made up the core of the proposal submitted to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

That is a significant price to pay for a single player.
