I’d offer Aebischer, Markov, Rivet, Plecanek, Samsonov & a conditional pick for Forseberg, Pitkanen, S. Kapanen & M. Grenier. Grenier use as an extra forward for muscle on the 4′th line when needed. Then we have Pitkanen to replace Markov and use Streit or Cote to replace Rivet & then this also allows us to sign Souray long term. Then if Zherdev is available offer Perezhogin, Ryder & Ninnimaa for Zherdev & Modin. Then The Habs look like this:

Huet, Danis

Komisarek, Pitkanen
Cote, Souray
Dandenault, Bouillon

Koivu, Higgins, Kovalev
Forseberg, Zherdev, Modin
Bonk, Johnson, Kapanen
Begin, Latendresse, Streit (Lapierre to fill in for Begin) Grenier as replacement for Streit when needed. Send Downey to minors.

Learn to freakin' spell NHL players' names!!!G. Murray ALREADY played with Montreal "(and throw in a player that will never make the montreal line up like j.ferland and g.murry)"… They can't play all players in the organisation, so they need to bench some of them! Besides, Murray ISN'T even with the Bulldogs! He's on the team… And you can't get anything for nothing…Bouillon, 2nd round pick, 1st round pick.. and Ferland/Murray (why would they need them anyway)for Forsberg and Pitkanen…sounds… NONSENSE!
