From Mike Boone of the Montreal Gazette:
Martin Lemay, who’s at the draft for CKAC, says he’s heard the Canadiens
have dealt their first-round pick.

The draft is under an hour away, so we will find out soon enough if this report is indeed true. If the first round pick involves Sundin, it would have to be part of a larger package.
Update: From the Calgary Herald (Link here)
The hot rumour at this moment is that the Canadiens have traded their first pick (25th overall) to San Jose (which otherwise would be pickless in the first round) as part of a package for centreman Patrick Marleau. The Sharks have 10 days to move their captain before a no-trade clause kicks in and Marleau earns the right of veto. As luck would have it, the Habs and Sharns have neighbouring draft tables on the arena floor.
