Rafa’s All-Out?
The Montreal Canadiens may be in the thick of the Atlantic Division playoff race but that might not mean they won’t look to move some players out before the deadline.
Could the Habs trade Briere to the Devils for Volchenkov?
Randy Miller of NJ.com makes a case for the New Jersey Devils to acquire veteran winger Daniel Briere from the Montreal Canadiens, saying that Briere may not be happy with his playing situation in Montreal, could be a top-line centre with the Devils and would be closer to his sons who live in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
Could the Habs trade Briere to the Sabres?
Briere was the name mentioned in trade rumors with the Buffalo Sabres in the early evening. Rumors emanating from Toronto that involved Steve Ott.
Is Briere unhappy in Montreal?
Daniel Briere is a proud guy and obviously isn't happy with his situation. How long before both the player and team look for a better fit?

Hickey on Hockey: Changes coming for Canadiens in 2014
Change.
That’s what the Canadiens can look forward to in 2014.
But there won’t be any immediate changes and fans who are concerned that Max Pacioretty will be traded can rest assured that a team short on size and scoring punch isn’t about to trade one of the few players on the team who supplies both.
Chatter about the Canadiens’ willingness to trade Max Pacioretty
It seems inexplicable, but Slap Shots has heard continued chatter about the Canadiens’ willingness to trade Max Pacioretty, the 25-year-old winger who apparently isn’t Michel Therrien’s ideal.
Canadiens continue to search for a trade partner
It’s no secret the Montreal Canadiens want to get bigger and more offensive, but it’s taking GM Marc Bergevin a little longer than he’d like to acquire some outside help.
After an impressive 11-1-2 run, the Canadiens have lost three of their last four games and have only managed to score three times in this stretch.
Bergevin has been scouring the league looking for a scoring winger to add to his top-six — preferably the team’s top line — but has found it difficult trying to complete a move that also works within the team’s salary cap.
With the cap going over $71 million and climbing even higher, what does this mean to P.K. Subban and his contract talks?
LeBrun: It could mean a lot. In many ways, he could be the poster child for young, star free agents and future negotiations. For guys like Alex Pietrangelo and Erik Karlsson, they signed long term deals because they were looking for security and didn’t know where the salary cap was headed.
Eight million per season for P.K. Subban?
According to information obtained by La Presse, Montreal negotiations between the club and the defender of 24 years for a new contract progresses, the two parties wishing to come to a long-term agreement .
According to a source familiar with the matter well , who wanted to preserve the anonymity so as not to interfere with ongoing discussions , the next contract awarded to the young defender ‘s only a matter of time .
Montreal and Columbus have been talking trade for a number of weeks
I don't know if something's coming in the immediate future, but Montreal and Columbus have been talking trade for a number of weeks

NHL rumours: Stastny part of Habs’ big deal?
“The Canadiens have been scouting the Avs all year long,” writes Adrain Dater of the Denver Post. “While I don’t believe something ‘major’ is imminent, I do believe Montreal has targeted the Avs for a while now for something. It could be as little as trying to get John Mitchell, or something as big as a package involving Paul Stastny.”
Is Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty being shopped?
McKenzie: Absolutely not, according to the Canadiens and their general manager Marc Bergevin, but it may be a splitting of hairs because teams in the NHL are calling the Canadiens and asking them about the availability of Pacioretty. The Canadiens are listening to offers, they are not saying he’s available but his name is in play.
