Canadiens acquire Christian Dvorak from Arizona

Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced on Saturday that the team has acquired centreman Christian Dvorak from the Arizona Coyotes in return for two draft picks.

Arizona trades Dvorak to Montreal in exchange for: i) the better of Montreal's own 1st round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and Carolina's 1st round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft (previously acquired by Montreal); and ii) Montreal's own 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.

However, in the event that either or both of Montreal's own 1st round pick and/or Carolina's 1st round pick are Top 10 picks in the 2022 NHL Draft (after the final Draft order has been established in accordance with the results of the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery), then Montreal will instead transfer to Arizona: i) the worse of Montreal's own pick and Carolina's pick (previously acquired by Montreal); and ii) Montreal's own 2nd round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.

Dvorak, 25, suited up for 56 games with Arizona last season, recording 17 goals and 14 assists, in addition to winning 52.1% of his faceoffs. Of those 17 goals, eight were scored on the power play and four were game-winning goals. He ended the season with 12 penalty minutes and averaged 18:24 of ice time per game.

Montreal was in desperate need of another centre after deciding not to match Carolina's offer sheet for restricted free agent Jesperi Kotkaniemi
