also, Edmonton traded Tony Salmelainen to Chicago for Jaroslav Spacek.
thats all Edmonton had to give up to get a decent defenceman. I think Montreal should have made an attempt to get him, we could have given up Ribeiro or even Zednik. It would have helped even more now, since Souray could be out for little bit too. I mean the guy that Edmonton gave isn't even that good, probably be no more then a third liner in the NHL.
