Default Habs and Jackets swap backup tenders

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.
