MONTRÉAL – The Montreal Canadiens announced Friday that forwards Michael Bournival (Shawinigan – QMJHL) and Brendan Gallagher (Vancouver – WHL) have been returned to their respective junior team. The Club also announced that forward Joonas Nattinen has been assigned to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs.

No immediate fantasy hockey value in the WHL.

Line Change

The Vancouver Giants' Brendan Gallagher is still at the Montreal Canadiens training camp at this writing, even as his peers who have actually signed contracts and were also taken much earlier than 147th overall in the 2010 entry draft have trekked back to their junior clubs.

Gallagher could make the team out of camp as he continues his extended look. The diminutive right wing scored 44 goals and 91 points last season with the Vancouver Giants. If he stays with the big club it would likely be on the third or fourth line, which makes you think he would be better served in the WHL.
