The Montreal Canadiens look like bandits after pulling off a swap of former first-round picks this past offseason.
The Montreal Canadiens made numerous moves this past offseason. The biggest one was landing top blueliner Noah Dobson from the New York Islanders.
That move not only solidified the club’s defense core but also made former first-round pick Logan Mailloux expendable.
So, a hockey trade became apparent. The Canadiens, with a flush of solid defensemen, needed another top-six forward.
