It was just announced that the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators have made a trade.
Novak was originally picked in the 7th round of the 2018 draft by the Senators. He posted 12 points in 35 NCAA games with Northeastern but has better numbers in the ECHL with 12 points in 14 games with the Allen Americans.
He played alongside Canadiens players Jayden Struble and Jordan Harris in university.
This trade is mostly procedural, as it will allow Novak to attend Canadiens camp. He had already signed a one-year AHL deal with the Laval Rocket.
Now, Novak will likely join the Laval Rocket for next season and continue to work on not letting his NHL dream end just yet.
