The Montreal Canadiens held an end of season press conference at 2:00 pm this afternoon, here are some of the topics which Bob Gainey, and Guy Carbonneau addressed.
The season is over for the Montreal Canadiens, today the team reported to the Bell Centre for the last time this season to clear out their lockers. Who should the Habs be interested in for next season?
Mark Gandler, the agent for forward Alexei Yashin, tells Hugh Adami of The Ottawa Citizen his client wanted to return to the Ottawa Senators after the New York Islanders bough him out last summer.
Obviously his career hasn’t been quite as prolific as that of the great (and oft re-injured) Foppa, but Alexei Yashin has definitely shown that he can play hockey, sometimes even in the NHL!
Are the Avalanche talking contract with Jose Theodore? Is Stanislav Chistov welcomed back in Boston? What kind of deal is Adam Foote looking for from the Blue Jackets? Do the Senators have viable options to upgrade in net? Would the Devils trade Brian Gionta? What are the Ducks looking for? Have the Thrashers decided what to do with Marian Hossa?
Do Thrashers want to bring back Bobby Holik? Will Thrashers move Marian Hossa by the trade deadline? Are the Canucks still in the market for a forward? Is Igor Grigorenko parting ways with the Red Wings?
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports that Toronto Maple Leafs GM John Ferguson Jr. is trying to alter his roster by moving a number of high-priced players.
New York Rangers pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Darius Kasparaitis tells John Dellapina of the New York Daily News that he is on the verge of signing a contract with a Russian club.
Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that St. Louis Blues forward Petr Cajanek is close to inking a deal with Ak-Bars Kazan of the Russian Super League.
The apparent deal that Calgary Flames forward Andrei Taratukhin has signed with Ufa Salavat Yulayev of the Russian Super League is apparently “contingent on him not making the Flames’ roster out of training camp,” reports the Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun.
Is Stanislav Chistov still headed for Russia? Which team has a need for Danny Markov, and the money to pay him? Are the Flames looking at making any more roster additions?
