BREAKING: Bruins Top Trade Target Officially Traded In Blockbuster Deal

In a strategic move, the Montreal Canadiens have traded forward Sean Monahan to the Winnipeg Jets, securing a first-round pick in this year's draft and a conditional third-round pick in 2027.

This transaction, orchestrated by GM Kent Hughes, showcases savvy negotiation skills as the Canadiens managed to obtain a first-rounder for acquiring and subsequently trading Monahan.


Notably, Montreal won't retain salary in this deal. The trade comes in the aftermath of Elias Lindholm's move from the Calgary Flames to the Vancouver Canucks.

Lindholm's trade sparked Monahan's expected departure, with at least two NHL teams, including the Jets, actively pursuing the seasoned veteran. Monahan's impressive career statistics add value to Winnipeg's roster as they make a playoff push.
