One-sided trade Between the Canadiens and the Flames: bad news
In August 2022, the Canadiens announced that Kent Hughes had completed a transaction for Sean Monahan and a conditional first-round pick, in exchange for future considerations.
Now, knowing everything that Monahan has brought to the Canadiens, his acquisition has been a steal, even without including the first-round pick in 2025.
The only issue is that there were around 20 conditions attached to this pick. It's a bit exaggerated, but it's said to be one of the most complex transactions to follow in history due to these conditions.
Anyway, the Flames' first-round pick in 2025 is protected within the top 10. With Jacob Markstrom leaving, I fear the Flames may finish near the bottom of the standings next year.
If this is for prospects, the likelihood increases the Habs get Florida's first rounder." - Brian Wilde
Obviously, if the Flames have a top 10 pick next summer, the Canadiens will acquire the Panthers' first-round pick.
Florida reached the Stanley Cup Final in the last two seasons and has a formidable team. It shouldn't be much different next year.
Therefore, Kent Hughes will have to settle for a late first-round pick, which is less appealing. It's far from the end of the world, but it's far from excellent.
