Canadiens Announce Multiple Roster Updates After William Trudeau Clears Waivers
Photo credit: NHL
We have an important waiver announcement for the Montreal Canadiens and for general manager Kent Hughes.
Why is this important?
Because we've just learned that Quebec defenseman William Trudeau is NOT leaving the Montreal Canadiens organization!
Following today's NHL announcements regarding waiver movements, we have indeed learned that Trudeau was not claimed, which is obviously excellent news.
Following these announcements, general manager Kent Hughes has therefore made a move and sent Trudeau to the Laval Rocket.
Kent Hughes makes a move and sends William Trudeau to the Laval Rocket: a personnel move made possible thanks to NHL waivers
See the confirmation here from the Laval Rocket.
"Defenseman William Trudeau has not been claimed on waivers and will report to the Laval Rocket."

Pascal Vincent's squad therefore gets some major reinforcement on defense.
William Trudeau arrives as reinforcements, David Reinbacher (returning from injury) arrives as reinforcements, and Marc Del Gaizo also arrives as reinforcements in Laval after being sent down by the Canadiens.
That explains why the Laval Rocket released defenseman Jacob Dion from his professional tryout contract earlier today.
William Trudeau, aged 23, is a left-shot Quebec defenseman standing 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 205 pounds, who was a 4th-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2021.
He collected 19 points in 68 games last season with the Laval Rocket, with a solid positive plus/minus rating of +14.
