Finally, we can say it, the famous and complicated trade involving the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames is now completed.
Following the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery, the trade involving Sean Monahan is now settled, and all of the very complicated conditions have been fulfilled.
It's truly one of the best-case scenarios for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
Receiving the Florida Panthers' first-round pick would've been far less appealing.
Trade Completed and Official, Between the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames
See David Calabretta's excellent recap (The Fourth Period).
"Sean Monahan trade in 2022:
CGY receives: Future Considerations
MTL gets 16th overall in 2025
They proceed to trade him to Winnipeg in 2024 for a 2024 1st. (That first was traded to select Michael Hage)
Final product: future considerations for Michael Hage and 16th overall"

What an incredible trade by Kent Hughes, and what outstanding asset management.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton turned "future considerations" into two very promising assets for the future of the Montreal Canadiens.
Technically, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton acquired Michael Hage and a 16th overall pick in the 2025 Draft "for free."
This is the kind of trade that can truly accelerate a rebuild.
