Montreal Canadiens: The Michael McCarron trade was a win for both sides

The 2019-20 season saw the end of Michael McCarron‘s tenure with the Montreal Canadiens. A beatdown at the hands of the Ottawa Senators in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs saw the organization go for size using their first-round pick on the U.S. National Development forward.

Fans were skeptical but optimistic about McCarron’s trajectory. His performance with the London Knights and Oshawa Generals was uplifting as he helped the Generals win a Memorial Cup while he had a decent rookie season in the AHL with the St. Johns IceCaps. However, two things could never pan out for McCarron: his skating and his role in the organization.
