The Montreal Canadiens are pleased to announce the acquisition of Tyler Myers from the Nashville Predators. The Habs have sent UFA Brad Stuart to Nashville. The trade breaks down as follows:

To Predators

Brad Stuart (77)
$3.25mm

To Habs

Tyler Myers
Doug Janik

Brad Stuart was an upcoming UFA and we had very little use for him sitting at the bottom of the Gretzky Conference. This saves us cap space for next year, and it also adds to our stable of prospects.

Myers was a guy we inquired about after the WJC as myself, along with many others were impressed with his play. He has improved offensively this year in Kelowna and with the Sabres weak d-core has the opportunity to play significant minutes down the road.

Thanks Vic for letting me harass you about Myers, and I hope Stuart helps boost your squad for the playoffs.
