More on Edmonton

According to CBS, the Oilers are offering Georges Laraque, Ty Conklin, and top prospect Robbie Schremp in exchange for José Theodore. I would say this rumour has a 0-25% chance of coming true - Conklin has been horrid (3.12 GAA, .872 SV%), and Laraque has previously stated that he would rather retire than play in Montreal for some reason.

This deal doesn't work for the Canadiens, especially if Gainey can motivate Theodore to get back into his form. Upping Mike Ribeiro's trade value, on the other hand, might produce a workable deal.
