Written by Kamal Panesar. Posted in Blogs - The Rumble

Per Bob McKenzie of TSN (on Twitter), the Montreal Canadiens have traded Ryan O'Byrne to Colorado for Michael Bournival.

It seemed inevitable that O'Byrne was going to be traded and he now goes to a team that is decimated by injuries and can use him on the back end.

Salary Cap
Ryan O'Byrne's cap hit is $941,667 according to Capgeek.com.

Speak with Brian LaRose of Habsworld.net he explained that:

"The cap savings that the Habs get from the trade is what is remaining of O'Byrne's contract, which is his full season cap hit less what has been spent ($941,667-$177,195) which is $764,472."
