Small Deal

In a non-pool inclusion trade, the Canadiens acquired defenseman, Doug Janik, from the Stars for forward, Steve Begin. This looks to be a deal to open up a little more cap space for the Canadiens, as they save half of a million in annual cap space with this deal. Both players have been healthy scratches, more often than not, in recent games.
