Mike Cammalleri finally got his hands back on the last sweater he wore for the Montreal Canadiens.

The familiar No. 13 jersey arrived in the mail along with a hand-written letter from Habs owner Geoff Molson, according to a message Cammalleri posted Friday on Twitter.

"Much appreciated thank you. Merci," he wrote, in part.

Cammalleri asked former general manager Pierre Gauthier if he could keep the sweater as a souvenir when he was traded to Calgary midway through a game on Jan. 12.

Gauthier told him he would have to pay for it.

There was no word of a bill arriving along with the sweater and Molson's note this week. Cammalleri spent parts of three seasons with the Habs.
