According to what Marco d’Amico of the site reports RG.orgquoting sources to the fact of the file, Kent Hughes would always try to improve his team for the next campaign, but would have their hands linked due to the heavy price contract.
However, the file could unlock from September 1, since it is the date of payment of the last bonus at the signing provided for in the number 31 pact, a juicy $ 5.5 million out of the $ 7.5 million which it must reach in 2025-2026.
“Once the price contract is exchanged, and they have space under the salary ceiling again, there is a potential for a subsequent transaction,” a source told RG.ORG.
“The Canadian does not want to use the long -term injured list during the dead season and he does not want to sacrifice a current player in his training,” added the same source.
Despite everything, Hughes will only carry out a transaction if it allows him to improve his team this year and for the years to come. He would not intend to include his two best hopes, defender David Reinbacher and striker Michael Hage, in an exchange for immediate help.
“Hughes warned his counterparts that he does not want to create a hole in his training to meet a need. The Canadian would prefer to use young hopes or the draft choices in a transaction for an established player, “said another source to Marco d’Amico.
Since the start of the summer season, the tricolor has carried out two major transactions by acquiring the defender Noah Dobson and the striker Zachary Bolduc.
