The Montreal Canadiens are trading defenceman Brett Kulak to the Edmonton Oilers for defenceman William Lagesson, a conditional second-round pick in 2022, and a seventh-round pick in 2024, the team announced on Monday.

 

TSN's Ryan Rishaug tweets the second rounder is for the 2022 NHL Draft, unless it goes to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Duncan Keith deal from over the summer. If it does, the pick going to Montreal would slide to 2023.

The 28-year-old Kulak has three goals and 10 assists in 56 games this season for the Habs, his fourth in Montreal.

This is the second time he's been traded, going from the Calgary Flames to the Canadiens in October of 2018.

He was selected in the fourth round (No. 105 overall) by the Flames in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Lagesson, 26, has zero goals and four assists in 30 games so far this season for Edmonton.

According to CapFriendly, Lagesson needs 18 more games played in order to retain his status as a restricted free agent. If he does not play in more than 18 games for the Habs he will expire as a Group 6 UFA this summer instead.

The Gothenburg, Sweden, native was selected in the fourth round (No. 91 overall) by the Oilers in the 2014 NHL Draft.
