The forward Tanner Jeannot has just been linked to Kent Hughes and the Canadiens via transaction, known notably for his fight against Arber Xhekaj.
Jeannot is also recognized by fans as the one who was traded for five draft picks!
At the NHL trade deadline in 2023, he was indeed traded from the Nashville Predators to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a first-round pick (2025), a second-round pick (2024), a third-round pick (2023), a fourth-round pick (2023), a fifth-round pick (2023), and prospect Cal Foote.
