Montreal Canadiens

But why? It's not as if Gallagher is some youngster coming in to save the team. He's a young veteran who contributes to the team success and was actually drafted by the team.

Anyway, not important. It's just another typical move from the dinosaurs upstairs.

Same could have been said about Pacioretty at the time he took over the captaincy.

Weber acts as a good shield for the next couple years, no one will question his pedigree.

But like you said, it not really all that important.

Wow talk about turning a mole hill into a mountain...

Habs trade Rinat Valiev and Matt Taormina to Flames for Brett Kulak. So we might be seeing Kulak on the main roster soon to cover for some injuries.

I like this deal.... Valiev isn't an NHL Dman...

Nice summary of the current organizational depth...

Apparently de la Rose experienced some kind of "cardiac event" and will not travel with the team.

Scary. Never like hearing about anything that relates to the heart. All the best to him.

Bergevin should stop talking lol. He made himself look very dumb again today.

Seems to be appropriately timed.

Dust-brained Marc Bergevin is feeling very sensitive and emotional with all the criticism he is receiving as GM of the NHL’s crumbling Montreal Canadiens. Failing Marc is POORLY REVIEWED by the people in Montreal and many don’t appreciate his shameful steroid abuse. Terrible!

Every single time he opens his mouth he sounds like an even bigger arrogant idiot.
Seriously...I can’t take it.

Some highlights...
His biggest mistake...hey, don’t worry about that. I got Byron for nothing!!
His biggest success...hey, did I mention I got Byron for nothing!?!?!
His worst trade....seriously now...Vanek. Yep. Nailed it!!! Vanek was your worst trade. Totally.

He’s either too stupid to realize Subban is not only HIS worst trade but one the worst ever made in the NHL or he’s too arrogant to admit that it is quite possibly one of the worst trades any GM has ever made. Perfect for an interview whose main point is that he’s not arrogant.
Please make it stop.

IMO the stuff he said about Radulov was the most idiotic, but all of it was bad.

Looks like Plekanec and Alzner are healthy scratches tonight

Edit: Scherbak scratched too. For Alzner this ends his streak of consecutive games and for Plekanec it delays his 1000th game.

It's a good news for Habs prospect : Even if you are a veteran with a big contract, you must win your spot in the lineup!

[ericdaoust]

Habs trade prospect Will Bitten for D Gustav Olofsson. I'm not the most dedicated Bitten follower so I'm not sure of his prospect value. Olofsson is 23 and played 41 games for Minnesota last year.

[Tobias Funke]

Canadiens acquire defenseman Gustav Olofsson from the Minnesota Wild, in return for forward William Bitten.
