MONTREAL — Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced today that the team acquired a conditional fifth round draft pick in 2015 from the Anaheim Ducks in return for forward Louis Leblanc.

Throughout his entire stay with our organization Louis showed great professionalism and a constant desire to improve. We thank him for his contribution and wish him success for the continuation of his career”, said Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin.
