MONTREAL -- General manager Kent Hughes announced on Thursday that the Canadiens have acquired forward Sean Monahan and a conditional first-round pick in 2025 from the Calgary Flames in exchange for future considerations.
Monahan, 27, previously spent his entire nine-year NHL career with Calgary, serving as an alternate captain since the 2015-16 campaign.
The Brampton, ON native has registered 462 points (212 goals, 250 assists) in 656 regular-season games and won 50.5% of his faceoffs.
A three-time 30-goal scorer, Monahan enjoyed his most productive regular season in 2018-19 with career-highs in goals (34), assists (48) and points (82) in 78 contests.
