Rangers trade Brett Berard to the Canadiens as the Islanders re-sign Tony DeAngelo
- On Friday, the New York Rangers traded forward Brett Berard to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for defenseman William Trudeau, marking the first offseason move for New York.
- Berard sought a "change of scenery" after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign, according to the New York Post. The forward was originally drafted by Jeff Gorton, now the Canadiens' executive vice president of hockey operations.
- While Berard has played 48 NHL games, Trudeau has logged 260 AHL contests with the Laval Rocket since being drafted by Montreal in 2021.
- In other league activity, the New York Islanders re-signed defenseman Tony DeAngelo to a two-year contract worth $9 million. DeAngelo, 30, returns to Long Island for a second full season.
- Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes continues to pursue roster upgrades. The team recently attempted to acquire Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal from the Islanders, signaling an aggressive offseason strategy.
