He focuses mainly on rebuilding the team, which should return the stellar times in a few years. He took good steps to do so at the recent end of the transition period, for which Kent General Manager Hughes and Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Jeff Gorton earned mostly positive reviews.

At the end of the transition period, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton answered fan questions, one of whom asked which prospectuses were most interesting before the draft. “If you look at some published rankings, not ours, there are many good players that are mentioned. For example, how good Shane Wright has been for some time. Juraj Slafkovský won the historically first medal at Slovakia at the Olympics and became the most useful player of the tournament. There are some interesting players. Now that we have a transition period, we are looking forward to seeing some of them a little more, “said Jeff Gorton, who mentioned the clear unit of Shane Wright and the Slovak striker so specifically.
