CANADIENS ACQUIRE TODD SIMPSON

The Canadiens acquired big defenseman Todd Simpson from the Chicago Blackhawks this morning for a 2006 sixth round draft pick. Could be part of a bigger deal to occur today, or just to bring more size to the defencemen. I'm still hearing things about Bertuzzi, but any big deal will have to involve Aebischer, and I think Gainey wants the goaltending depth. Look for an Arron Asham or Matthew Barnaby to be headed Montreal's way, maybe a little more if Zednik is dealt.
