    smolinski and Aucoin to montreal
    Cullimore to tampa
    Lapointe to detroit

    expect cullimore to go to Edmonton. he can be a quality guy and a he's a hard worker, but CHI won't need alot back for him.

    As for the rest, I heard Lapointe is going to ANA and Aucoin either to MTL or BUF.

    Somlinski could go anywhere. he'd be an nice addition to any team though.

     I'll take Smolinski, but what the hell do you want Aucoin for?

  5. Saku_Koivu11 says:

    The reason the Habs want Aucoin is mainly for the pp because they figure that if they have two cannons shooting from the point Souray will get more shots threw if they have to worry about aucoin and souray. I don't know if Aucoin is worth the risk or even if this plan will work but something needs to cahnge in MTL.

    Who i really want to come to MTL is Shane Doan. I love him cause he works hard and also would like to see hard working Olli Jokinien some how get to MTL but i dont think he is for sale.

     Doan would be great for sure, but Aucoin is definately not worth it.

    BREAKING NEWS!!! This just in… The NHL is planning to have a 82 game season.  They are also contemplating to advertise Sidney Crosby as a good hockey player. On another side note, Brodeur, Luongo and Kippersoff are considered good goalies.  CAPTAIN OBVIOUS to the rescue.  All kidding aside, chicago has been reported to sell for quite some time now.  Did we really need another article on this?

    I would love for Montreal to go after a few of those guys. Not the one's who have been rumored to be comming to Montreal, but Marty Lapointe would look good in a Habs jersey
