Back in early January, the Sabres traded Marco Scandella to Montreal for a fourth-round pick. From there, they traded for Michael Frolik. About a month and a half later, Montreal's sly fox GM Marc Bergevin landed a better package for Scandella.
Blues receive: Scandella (29, pending UFA, cap hit currently $2M)
Montreal gets: 2020 second-round pick, conditional 2021 fourth-round pick
