The defenceman has been traded from Long Island to the Montreal Canadiens, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Friday.
The 25-year-old signed an eight-year, $76-million contract extension with the Canadiens, carrying an average annual value of $9.5 million.
Per Friedman, the return heading back to Long Island includes forward Emil Heineman and the Canadiens two 2025 first-round picks, 16th and 17th overall.

In 71 games last season, the Summerside, P.E.I., native posted 39 points (10 goals and 29 assists). Through 388 career regular-season games, he has recorded 230 points (50 goals and 180 assists).
