The Montreal Canadiensa acquired 21-year-old Kirby Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks in a draft blockbuster.
First, the Canadiens traded defensemen Alexander Romanov and the 98th overall pick to the New York Islanders in exchange for the 13th overall pick. Then, they flipped the 13th overall pick, along with the 66th overall pick, for Dach.
However, the former 3rd overall pick has been an RFA looking for a new deal all summer.
