While the Montreal Canadiens were saying hello to a new group of recruits, general manager Pierre Gauthier said goodbye to some old warriors on Tuesday.
The Canadiens have traded Sergei Kostitsyn to the Nashville Predators for forward Dustin Boyd, goaltender Dan Ellis and future considerations. The deal also includes future considerations for the Predators.
The Canadiens ended any speculation about Benoit Pouliot's
immediate future with the team when they signed him to a one-year
deal worth $1.35 million yesterday.
When Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier is asked whether he has a Plan B or Plan C for the direction the team will take in the next two weeks, he says there aren¿t enough letters in the alphabet to cover the different scenarios.
Vancouver Canucks centre Henrik Sedin said he had to do a double-take when he heard himself introduced as the winner of the Hart Trophy, which goes to the most valuable player in the National Hockey League.
