This guy is a little *****en baby honestly when your team is doing good and you have depth don't complain of not playing once and a while your becoming a distraction and we don't need players like that hopefully there's someone out there willing to take him away from us take care little baby begin sat out kostopolous sat out and there ok with it boullion sat out brisebois sat out and none of them are complaining i hate players like that
LOOK at toronto raptors gret depth and none of the players complain of not playing i know its basketball but the only team i could think of that has depth

Don't touch to this guy, it's a veteran, and he knows what you have to do to win in playoff. This best skills is on the locker room, every day on pratice and when he face the media… So don't bullshit me with Dandenaul want to be trade….Carbo came from Quebec not Ontario…. *****.

Be fair with Ryder, he's had 30 in the past 2 seasons, this year is somewhat of anomaly also given his streaky tendencies he still could attain 20 goals by year end.

Dandenault has only been benched because of Carbonneau's rotation policy, not because of his play which has been fine. He's also played far more games at forward in the NHL than on defense, so your qualification is misguided. His playoff experience would not be ignored by teams seeking depth for a long playoff run.

Huet will be traded if he is seeking a long term deal or pricing himself too high. He is not in the long term plans of the team and if he insists on a long term deal, he'll have to get it elsewhere.

He has not been used on defense all year long, frankly on the Habs he's more like 8th or 9th defense man than 5th or 6th. I'd like to keep him though; he's a great checking forward with offensive upside, is possibly the best skater on the team and does have 3 cup rings and a ton of experience that will be really useful when taking a young team into the playoffs. Anyway, rumors of his seeking a trade have been greatly exaggerated, he simply stated that he was not happy being benched, but well that's the situation in Montreal, there is a lot of depth of NHL caliber players and few injuries at the moment. Carbonneau has stated publicly that he will not sit anyone out for an extended period but cycle the 3rd and 4th line players to allow everyone a chance to play on a regular basis.

ryder is a 7 goal scorer. dandenault is a defenseman playing fourth line forward and getting benched and getting paid $1.75 mil for another season to do it, huet is a pending free agent who has never won 20 games in a season and has almost no playoff experience.

there is no possible reason that anyone would take a package of these three players.

gainey is not going to trade Huet. montreal has no other starting goaltender.

we got a pretty good team right now seems like we can make a decent run in the playoffs we should be buyers not sellers although all your scenarios seem good montreal should make a trade this year for one of those guys u mentioned but excluding huet including halak because lets face it if we make the playoffs i doubt halak will take us deep
