TRADE: MONTREAL ADDS MORE SIZE WITH ADDITION OF D-MAN BEAUCHEMIN

The Juniors added more size, this time on the blue-line
position. Jean-Laurence Beauchemin is 6'4" and 197lbs.
With their 3rd trade before the deadline Montreal acquired 19 year old defenseman Jean-Laurence Beauchemin from the PEI Rocket in exchange for a 5th round pick at the 2011 draft.

The 5th round pick was acquired in a previous deal that originally belonged to Baie Comeau.

Similar to Pouliot, by adding Beauchemin the Juniors gain more size on their roster. He's listed at 6'4" and 197 pounds. Although not considered an enforcer by any means, Beauchemin can be counted on to play a sound defensive game and will add both stability and depth to Montreal's defense corps.

Through 38 games this season Beauchemin has 3 goals, 6 assists, is a +2 and has 20 penalty minutes.
