In 1943-44, during World War II, the Canadian government refused to allow Watson to leave the country. They said that he had to perform war work in Canada. The Rangers lent him to the Montreal Canadiens for the year in a trade for Dutch Hiller and Charlie Sands. Watson worked for Fairchild Aircraft in Montreal and was only able to play for the Canadiens in Montreal and Toronto. He did win the Stanley Cup that year. Watson retired in 1949, having played 590 games in the NHL and scoring 144 goals and 265 assists.
