The Montreal Canadiens sure were not expecting to trade Getzlaf this year but he has struggled quite significantly lately and his Morale was really low. So we traded for our favourite current player in the NHL, Jonathan Toews. Here is the deal:

To the Sharks

Ryan Getzlaf (73)
$4.15mm this year
$2.10mm next year

To the Habs

Jonathan Toews (72)

We save $2.10mm in cap space which will be valuable next year as we have a lot of big re-signings to take place.

This was a really difficulty trade to make but we needed a) some more scorin from someone other than Nash and b) Getzlaf wasn't playing great.

Thanks Ian for the talks, and welcome to the Habs Toews!
