This afternoon in Montreal at the draft, Gainey selected Petteri Simila 211th overall in Round 7 thanks to a trade from the Stanley cup Champions (The Pittsburgh Penguins). Montreal traded there 6th round pick in 2010 to Pittsburgh for the 211th pick this season just so they can get Petteri Simila. "Well it seems that in 7 round's there is not enough picks available to answer to the number of players on our list," Gainey said.I think it was a nice touch for Montreal to make the last pick in the draft and Pittsburgh allowed us to do that."Petteri Simila can possibly play for Montreal next season if the Canadiens trade either Denis, Halak or Price.
