Canadiens Trade Farrell to Ducks for Pastujov in Swap of Minor-League Forwards
The minor-league swap gives Montreal a former third-round pick and adds depth as both teams reshuffle AHL forwards.
- On Monday, the Montreal Canadiens acquired forward Sasha Pastujov from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Sean Farrell. The minor-league swap marks a roster adjustment as the team prioritizes long-term building.
- The 6-foot-0, 183-pound Pastujov brings needed size to a Canadiens roster lacking physicality. Management intends to give the 23-year-old every opportunity to compete heading into the 2026/27 campaign.
- Departing the organization, the 5-foot-9, 175-pound Farrell recorded 17 goals and 36 assists in 72 games with the American Hockey League's Laval Rocket last season. He was originally selected by Montreal in the 2020 draft.
- Pastujov, who has yet to appear in an NHL game, recorded 21 goals and 36 assists in 71 games for the San Diego Gulls during 2025-26. He previously combined for 38 goals and 102 points over 114 career games.
- General Manager Kent Hughes continues his patient off-season approach, making few moves while fans await a potential blockbuster trade. The Canadiens remain focused on filling a top-six vacancy, particularly at the second-line center position.
