The Montreal Canadiens have traded forward Max Domi and a third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Josh Anderson, the team announced on Tuesday.
Domi received a qualifying offer as expected from the Canadiens on Saturday, a one-year deal worth $2.9 million, according to CapFriendly.
Both Domi and Anderson are restricted free agents. Domi switched agents in September and is now represented by Darren Ferris. If that name rings a bell, it’s because he’s also Mitch Marner’s agent and is well-versed in RFA negotiations by now.
