The Los Angeles Kings trade forward Nate Thompson and 2019 5th round pick (Chicago) for a 2019 4th round pick (Calgary)
Joey Alfieri: “#Habs trade away the fourth-rounder they got from the Flames, but they land the fifth-rounder the Kings got from Arizona. Canadiens have their own fourth and they now have three fifths (ARZ, CHI, EDM)”
Jon Rosen: The Kings had acquired the 5th round pick from the Blackhawks for the rights to Dominik Kubalik.
Some thoughts from the media
Cap Friendly: “Montreal acquiring Thompson with 55 days left in the season, means the #Habs will only use $487,903 of their projected cap space as a result of today’s trade.
