Article on www.rds.ca says that Laraque and S Koivu won\'t accompany the team for the 1st pre-season game against Boston.

Just beware with S Koivu because I\'m not so sure that he\'s healed from last years foot injury just before the playoffs.

As for Laraque, I just hope he\'s ready to go once the season starts. I\'m sure no one really has him in their teams!
