He could n't convince in Montréal in 2006/07 and was part of many transfer rumors. After he said in early February 2007 that he was not satisfied with his situation in Montréal and that he would prefer to change teams through a transfer, the Canadiens put him on the waiver list, but because of his high salary he was not given by any Team committed.

In June 2007 he was transferred to the Chicago Blackhawks for Tony Salmelainen and Jassen Cullimore . Since they were also not satisfied with his performance, the Blackhawks also put him on the waiver list, from where the Carolina Hurricanes finally selected him.
