Short news

Hope you're all enjoying the Olympic Games, what a great showing for Canada so far! (Minus the hockey of course...) Just a quick note to let you know that the Canadiens are supposedly interested in taking a risk on Alexandre Daigle of the Wild, who has 28 points in 46 games this season.

Also, while José Theodore claims he'll be back sooner than the doctors had predicted, Bob Gainey says he plans on sticking with the duet of Cristobal Huet and Yann Danis for as long as possible. I think Gainey wants to take advantage of Theodore's injury to let Huet feel comfortable as #1 for awhile, and maybe also to take advantage of the cap space the situation affords him. Remember, players don't get paid salary in the playoffs, so if Theo held out until then, Gainey could potentially seek out a playoff rental without having to worry about cap issues. Remember also that if Theodore is out a certain number of games, insurance pays his salary and not George Gillett. This is all very iffy, but it does provide the Habs with some more options.
