In a well-publicized trade that took place at the beginning of round one of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Canadiens acquired restricted free agent Andrew Shaw from the Chicago Blackhawks in return for two second round picks.

Shaw commented on his relationship with GM Marc Bergevin, and why he believes Bergevin acquired him:
"I know Marc pretty well and I'm really happy and excited to be a part of his team.
