The Montreal Canadiens made some minor moves at the trade deadline earlier this week. They sent out basically anyone who has an expiring contract at the end of the season and had enough value to bring back a mid range draft pick.
We saw Marco Scandella, Ilya Kovalchuk, Nick Cousins, Nate Thompson and Matthew Peca all shipped out of town with second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh round draft picks coming back to Montreal in return.
The second and third round picks for Scandella and Kovalchuk were a nice addition considering the two players only arrived in Montreal six weeks before the deadline and only cost the Habs a fourth round pick at the time.
