What happened: The Hockey Writers published a retrospective look back at the trade that brought Alex Newhook to the Montreal Canadiens. The piece revisits the deal amid the club's broader roster moves this summer.

Why it matters: Montreal has been active on the trade front this offseason, recently discussing Kirby Dach and emerging as a partner for the cap-strapped Ducks, so a look back at a prior acquisition fits the team's ongoing roster evaluation.

What to watch: Watch for further roster moves from Montreal as the offseason progresses.
