UPDATE: The contract included a modified, three-team no-trade clause in the final two years.
After acquiring him from the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier in the day, the Montreal Canadiens announced that they had agreed to a six-year contract extension with Jonathan Drouin. The contract will carry a cap hit of $5.5 million.
