Morrow to the Jets apparently..... yawn.

Looks like Price may have had a setback. He's speaking to media soon, but not skating today or tomorrow. Sounds ominous. Hopefully not a long-term injury, although Lindgren playing so well certainly helps soften the potential blow (somewhat).

I think there's a better way to do this without making it seem that those wanting paper tickets are getting screwed. Especially when you're talking about a demographic (seniors) which is growing so rapidly. We now have more people in Canada who are over 65, then there are kids under 15. Why not keep the ticket prices the same, but offer a slight discount for individuals to receive them electronically. Puts the onus on people to make an environmentally friendly choice, without directly disadvantaging someone who might not have computer access or a level of comfort to take advantage of electronic tickets.

Lets hope not. Thornton just re-upped with SJ for one year.

Only one wish that matters, that I get to bring my son to Montreal in June to watch the cup parade along Ste. Catherine.

certainly doesn't inspire a ton of confidence for a deep run

So with McCarron, my count puts us at 25 players... Pacioretty-Danault-Radulov Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Gallagher Shaw-Plekanec-Byron King-Mitchell-Ott Weber-Markov Petry-Emelin Benn-Beaulieu Price Extras: Flynn, Martinsen, McCarron, Davidson, Nesterov, Montoya

So if true that the Habs are done, doesn't it feel like we have too many roster players at the moment? Wondering if there is another shoe to drop... Assume McCarron goes back to the AHL, but doesn't that still leave us heavy?

more size, more bottom 6 forwards.... something has to be coming, right? right?!?! ugh

Andrighetto goes to Colorado

Looks like Iginla to the Kings.

My thinking as well. Too many pieces at the bottom end of the roster. Wondering if we could see something like McCarron, Andrighetto, Beaulieu and a 1st for Duchene. Maybe that's not enough, but something has to give here.

Habs acquire Dwight King from the LA Kings for a conditional 4th in 2018.

Days like this I'm glad to have a television in my office and a boss who doesn't seem to care that I'm tuned into TSN.

That was my first thought as well.

first glance, I really don't love using the #9 on the sleeves. I get trying to build the connection to Richard but the two different numbers of one jersey is a bit tough on the eyes. Good colour balance though.

The more I think about this, the more shocked I am that Geoff Molson signed off.

Devastating... what an unbelievable horrific trade for Montreal. Perhaps will go down as the worst trade in the history of the franchise, which is saying something. I am in complete shock.

I couldn't remember how that ended off. I suspect they would have dibs, but you wondering with Lou gone whether they're eager to jump aboard that train again.

No actual rumour here, but wondering what people think about trying to sign Kovalchuk. Looks like his time is done in the KHL and he's a legit 40 goal scorer. I can't imagine him meshing well with MT, but signing him is more about next season anyways.

I think the issue is more the question of whether the team has been hiding the severity of Carey's injury. If so, you have to ask what would the motivation would be. No question that regardless of tickets already being sold, if they had announced in December that Carey was out for the year, it would still have affected the teams bottom line.

Bombshell this morning from La Presse, who are claiming that Carey is likely done for the season, and that the team has known this was the case for a long time, but withheld the information so as to not have it affect ticket sales. http://www.hockeyinsideout.com/news/canadiens-goalie-carey-price-is-done-for-the-season-la-presse-says

Wow congrats nihiliz, happy to have come so close myself!!

Tony Marinaro is reporting its a 7th round pick in 2016 and Joonas Nattinen for Mitchell. edit: apparently now its Jack Nevins not Nattinen.
