Story summary

On October 9, 2026, the Montreal Canadiens traded defenceman Jayden Struble to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2027 NHL draft. Struble, 25, had signed a two-year contract extension with Montreal worth $2.825 million ($1.4125 million AAV) but was no longer a key player due to a crowded left-side defence. He played 174 games for the Canadiens over four seasons, scoring seven goals and 28 assists while accumulating 167 penalty minutes. Struble had been selected by Montreal in the second round (46th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft. The trade reflects Montreal's efforts to reshape its defensive lineup as they look ahead to the upcoming season.
