A trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers has been officially completed, and it's a masterstroke by Kent Hughes.
Indeed, the general manager traded Brett Kulak to the Oilers in 2022, and this transaction was finalized during the most recent draft.
In the short term, it's a good trade for Edmonton, as Kulak has been a valuable addition to their team. However, when looking at the return acquired by the Canadiens, there's reason to rejoice.

The Canadiens received a 2022 2nd-round pick, a 2024 7th-round pick, and William Lagesson in this transaction. The 2nd-round pick alone is highly valuable.
