MONTREAL -- Montreal Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes announced on Wednesday that the team has traded forward Cam Hillis to the Chicago Blackhawks in ...
Hillis was selected in the third round by the Canadiens in 2018 (66th overall). The Oshawa, ON native played one game in the NHL with Montreal in 2021-22. Beaudin, a 23-year-old left-handed defenseman, played 22 career games in the NHL with Chicago.
It's not exactly a blockbuster, and it may not help your fantasy teams right now, but the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks came together for an ...
This is a player who needs to find consistency in his health that will allow him to establish his place in a lineup, be it at the AHL or ECHL level. An extremely hard worker, Hillis exhibits enough responsibility in his game to be played in a number of situations. While he was able to handle the physicality at the junior level, it’s been much more of a challenge adapting to that side of the game at the pro level. He checked all the boxes having played for Canada in the U17’s and U18’s wrapped around a near point per game season as a 17-year-old in 2017-18 (his draft year) with the Storm. Beaudin was a bit of a surprise pick by Chicago at the end of the first round in 2018. Beaudin always had the reputation of being an elite skater that allowed him to stay up in the play at the junior level, enabling him to create offence.
Le Canadien de Montréal a mis la main mercredi sur le défenseur québécois Nicolas Beaudin, des Blackhawks de Chicago.
Quant à lui, Hilis a passé les deux dernières campagnes à faire la navette entre le Rocket de Laval et les Lions de Trois-Rivières. Il rejoindra les rangs des Lions de Trois-Rivières, dans l'ECHL. Le natif de Châteauguay a disputé 22 parties dans la Ligue nationale de hockey, inscrivant deux buts et six points au passage.
