Habs Trade Kyle Chipchura

This morning, the Montreal Canadiens have traded their 2004 first round pick Kyle Chipchura to the Anaheim Ducks against a 4th round pick. Chipchura has been a disappointing pick for the Habs and has never been able to established himself as a NHLer.

I am glad that the organization has finally decided to trade him. With all the opportunities that we have given him to prove himself in the NHL, we still haven't seen anything. He has been labeled as an excellent defensive player with great leadership and good vision in the AHL. But he has failed to bring these skills in the NHL. It is time to free a roster spot in the team and give the opportunity to other young players in the organization to prove themselves.

And the fact that we were able to obtain a 4th round pick in return is a good deal. Good job by Bob Gainey there.
