Canadiens Top Prospect On The Move In Blockbuster Trade

The CHL (Canadian Hockey League) and more specifically OHL (Ontario Hockey League) trade deadlines are fast approaching. Today a much-anticipated trade in the OHL involving a Montreal Canadiens prospect has gone down.

TRADE ALERT

Spirit acquire OHL Champion and World Junior Gold Medalist Owen Beck in exchange for Aiden Young and three draft picks.
