TORONTO – The Montreal Canadiens shipped forward Michael Cammalleri to the Calgary Flames on Thursday, adding another chapter to the storied organization’s turbulent season.
The trade comes one day after Cammalleri questioned the Canadiens’ attitude in the dressing room after a loss to the St. Louis Blues, and said the team played with a losing mentality.
Montreal’s general manager Pierre Gauthier denied the trade had anything to do with the recent controversy and said the team has been working on a deal for more than a month.
Cammalleri was pulled during the third-period of the game and apparently sent back to the team hotel. Shortly after, general manager Pierre Gauthier announced Cammalleri had been traded to the Flames for René Bourque.
