Szuber was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Laval.
Szuber notched 11 goals and 27 points in 65 games for AHL Tucson during the 2025-26 regular season. Montreal acquired him from Utah in the offseason and signed him to a one-year, two-way contract in the summer.
Szuber signed a one-year, two-way contract with Montreal on Monday.
Szuber produced 11 goals, 27 points and 67 PIM across 65 regular-season appearances for AHL Tucson in 2025-26. The 23-year-old Szuber will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Laval after the Canadiens acquired him from Utah on June 29 in exchange for Joshua Roy.

Canadiens' Maksymilian Szuber: Traded to Montreal
Rotowire
Szuber was traded to the Canadiens from the Mammoth on Monday in exchange for Joshua Roy, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Szuber was recalled by the Mammoth on two occasions last year, but he didn't appear in any NHL games. He made 65 regular-season appearances with AHL Tucson and recorded 11 goals, 16 assists and 67 PIM. He made his NHL debut with a lone appearance during the 2023-24 campaign, and he'll get a change of scenery for the 2026-27 season. However, it seems likely that he'll spend most of his time in the minors.

Szuber has been a steady contributor in the AHL this season with 10 goals, 15 assists and 78 shots on net across 50 games this season. The move gives him his first chance to suit up in Utah after playing one NHL game when the franchise was in Arizona during the 2023-24 season.

Hockey Club's Maksymilian Szuber: Sent back down
Rotowire
Szuber was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.
Szuber spent a few days on Utah's roster but didn't draw into a game. He could be called up again if the team needs more depth on defense, but for now, Utah looks content to let Juuso Valimaki, Robert Bortuzzo and Vladislav Kolyachonok compete for third-pairing minutes.
