Comments on: Georges Laraque, Alex Henry & Marc Denis on their way to Montreal http://rumormethis.com/transactions/signings/georges-laraque-alex-henry-marc-denis-on-their-way-to-montreal/ Latest NHL Hockey Trade Rumors Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:10:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Dan Rakusan http://rumormethis.com/transactions/signings/georges-laraque-alex-henry-marc-denis-on-their-way-to-montreal/comment-page-1/#comment-704 Dan Rakusan Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:54:21 +0000 http://rumormethis.com/?p=1804#comment-704 I honestly don't see Sundin as a good fit in Montreal, and certainly wouldn't give him more than a single year contract... If he's taking this long to decide if he's even going to play again, how effective will he be? Anyway, I agree that adding Denis looks like a setup for Halak being traded, although I'd say it would be premature to do that until Price truly proves himself for a full season. But, that's just my cautious side talking, I guess... Laraque is getting paid too much money, but the Habs definitely needed a cop out there keeping their still rather smallish group of stars safe. Nobody better than Laraque for that, especially in his home town (read: maybe we'll see him fight again...)
