The Habs have acquired Jonas Hiller from the Jackets. In return, the Habs send Hannu Toivonen, along with Nathan McIver and Andre Petersson.

McIver is a 22-year old d-man who has playing semi-regularly with the Ducks. He'll be on the squad full-time once Niedermayer moves on. Petersson is a 4th round pick from last year who has made some great strides this year and played very well at the WJC. Considering the Sens lack of prospects, Petersson has a very real chance of making the NHL.

We are pleased to acquire Hiller, a backup for the Ducks this year. We aren't sure he has the skills to be a #1 guy, but he is a solid backup and this helps us moving forward.

Thanks Jason for the negotiations.
