March 2, 2022 (2022-03-02)	To Calgary Flames Michael McNiven	To Montreal Canadiens Future considerations	^[105]

Notes:

The Arizona Coyotes will receive the better of Montreal's own 1st-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and Carolina's 1st-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft (previously acquired by Montreal). 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 Entry Draft (after the final Draft order has been established in accordance with the results of the 2022 NHL Draft Lottery), then Arizona will receive the worse of Montreal's own pick and Carolina's pick.
If the Calgary Flames' 1st-round pick in 2022 is a Top 10 pick, Montreal will instead receive their 2023 1st-round pick along with a 2024 4th-round pick.
