Moments after the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Habs traded backup goaltender Al Montoya to the Edmonton Oilers.
In exchange, the Canadiens will receive a conditional fourth-round pick in 2018. The conditions were not disclosed.
UPDATE: The conditions are now known. The Canadiens will receive the fourth-round selection only if Montoya plays seven games for the Oilers, otherwise it’s a fifth-round pick.
The condition on the pick in the Al Montoya trade: The #habs get a 2018 fourth-rounder if he plays seven more games this regular season.
