We indeed have action on the NHL waiver wire today, coming from Boston and involving a rugged forward.
We know that Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens want to add a gritty forward, and we know they like to take chances on former first-round picks. So, in short, please note that Max Jones is currently available for free.
He’s a character forward who was expected to become a force in a top-six NHL role, but he hasn’t delivered the anticipated performances over the past few years.
Max Jones is available for free on waivers
Due to their 29th overall position in the NHL standings today, the Canadiens have one of the top four priorities to claim players on waivers.
Could the gritty forward Max Jones be of interest to Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton?
