Don't forget that the Habs also signed Jimmy Bonneau this summer and he could also end up in Hamilton.

I was under the impression that Michaud's contract with the Canadiens was up. Can anyone confirm his contract status?

Although Danis seems to have good potential, he has only played one year in the American Hockey League and at this point in his development he needs to play a lot ... something he won't do as Jose Theodore's backup. Danis may start the season in Montreal as the #2 goalie but when Huet is healthy he will return to Hamilton for the playing time he so desparately needs to continue to improve.

Can someone let me know how long Streit's contract is for?

When it comes to a possible 4th policeman everyone seems to be overlooking Raitis Ivanans who played in Hamilton last year and is signed through the 05/06 season. He is huge (both height and weight), can skate very well for a big man and isn't too shaby when it comes to dropping the gloves.

RDS.CA: reports former Detroit Red Wings forward/defenceman Mathieu Dandenault has expressed interest in finishing his career as a Montreal Canadien.

A headline in the Montreal Gazette sports section today suggests that Jason Ward's days with Canadiens are done. Although I am not a subscriber and therefore don't have access to the full article I would guess that he has not been given a qualifying offer.

An article in the Hamilton Spectator today suggests that Don Lever will be named the new head coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs at a 2:00pm news conference this afternoon in Hamilton.
