    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>AP - The Flames were busy at the NHL draft, acquiring center Mike Cammalleri from the Kings in a three-way deal and shipping forward Alex Tanguay to the Canadiens on Friday night, according to an Associated Press report.

    The Flames sent their first round pick, 17th overall, to Los Angeles for Cammalleri. The Kings then traded the 17th and 28th picks in the first round to Anaheim for the Ducks’ pick at No. 12.</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>“I couldn’t be happier about coming to Montreal,” admitted Tanguay, who helped lead the Avalanche to the Stanley Cup in 2001. “With my no-trade clause I could have said no, but I really want to play for the Canadiens. I know how strong a team we have and that I won’t have to be Mario Lemieux or even Guy Lafleur. I hoping to contribute to getting this team to the next level.”</div>

    Great pick-up. He'll be instant offense and maybe they'll out him on a line with Mats.
