Would the Montreal Canadiens consider trading a 2025 first-round pick?
Marco D’Amico of Montreal Hockey Now: The Montreal Canadiens own the Calgary Flames with a conditional 2025 first-round pick from the Sean Monahan trade back in 2022.
The condition on the selection is that if the Flames are selected in the top 10, it goes to the Florida Panthers 2025 first round pick. The Flames have started trading since the middle of last season, so the chances of this player being selected in the Top 10 are increasing.
So if the pick does transfer to the Panthers, it will likely be in the 17-32 range and that could lead the Canadiens to consider trading the pick as they look to take the next step in the rebuild.

Three potential trade options for the Edmonton Oilers
Allan Mitchell of the Athletic: Right now it looks like the Edmonton Oilers could have Cody Ceci or Philip Broberg lined up next to Darnell Nurse on the second pairing. There is still time for them to look to make a trade. Three possible trading options.
Artem Zub – Ottawa Senators – The Senators may not want to move the right-handed defenseman this offseason, but if he’s out of it at the trade deadline, he could be a top target for the Oilers. It might cost Broberg and another piece and that’s only if Broberg establishes himself as an NHLer.
Rasmus Andersson – Calgary Flames – His offense has gotten better over the last three seasons and he’s playing well on both ends. He’s in charge a bit. He has struggled with high minutes but it would be great if he played second. They may not be found, and it may take three teams to extract them. Broberg and other young assets/draft picks.

Justin Barron – Montreal Canadiens – The 22-year-old is a mobile defenseman with a small edge. Only has 94 games in the NHL. The 2022 first round pick (25th overall) will be a long haul. Would either team consider Broberg for a Barron’s trade?
