Canadiens Trade Sean Farrell to Ducks for Sasha Pastujov

The Montreal Canadiens have made a strategic move, trading forward Sean Farrell to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for fellow forward Sasha Pastujov. This transaction marks another step in the Canadiens’ roster adjustments as they look to enhance their future prospects.

Farrell, who played 47 games last season with the Laval Rocket, showcased his offensive skills by netting nine goals and providing 19 assists for a total of 28 points. Additionally, he contributed two assists in five playoff games for Laval this past spring. Drafted by the Canadiens as the 124th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Farrell has accumulated 46 goals and 79 assists for 125 points over 186 career AHL games across three seasons. He also made a brief appearance in the NHL, playing six games for the Canadiens during the 2022-23 season, where he scored once.

In Pastujov, the Canadiens are acquiring a promising young forward who has made a name for himself at the AHL level. Last season, he played 71 games with the San Diego Gulls, scoring 21 goals and totaling 57 points. Prior to that, he had an impressive run in the 2024-25 season with 17 goals and 45 points in just 43 games. Selected by the Ducks with the 66th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Pastujov has yet to make his NHL debut, but his AHL performance suggests a bright future ahead.
