BREAKING: MIKE CAMMELLERI TRADED (BACK) TO CALGARY

Stay connected for news and updates

In today's "wuttttttt" news, Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Cammelleri has been acquired by Flames General Manager Jay Feaster for an as-yet unspecified return.

Needless to say, this is far more interesting than the ongoing game with the Anaheim Ducks.

Mike Cammelleri left Calgary as a UFA in favor of Olli Jokinen after posting a career high of 82 points in 2008-09. He had been acquired for a 2nd round draft pick from the LA Kings by then GM Darryl Sutter.

The trade is particularly note-worthy given the circumstances. After calling the Canadiens organization "losers", or at least being reported as saying as much, Cammalleri was pulled from a Montreal game in the third period and sent to the team hotel. He was then told he had been traded. Last time a Montreal player was pulled for a trade, it was Patrick Roy pulling himself. Montreal didn't fare so well with that trade, as most hockey fans will recall.

UPDATE: Rene Bourque is one player heading to Montreal.
