Defense deals possible
While reports continue to surface saying the Canadiens are going after Todd Bertuzzi, expect them to deal for a defenseman before they trade for the hulking Canucks forward. Numerous sources have linked the Canadiens to Derek Morris, Denis Gauthier, and Bryan Berard, among others. The Habs could sure use Gauthier's size on the blueline, although Morris would probably be the best acquisition overall. More to come as it unfolds.

Does anyone know if Alexandre Daigle cleared waivers already? If the Habs were to pick him up, he could provide some spark on that second line.
Daigle was placed on 24-hour waivers on Saturday to make room for the Wild to pick up Mattias Weinhandl from the Islanders. Since I haven't heard any news about Daigle getting picked up, I assume he cleared waivers. I have heard talk of him coming to Montreal, and I wouldn't be too disappointed - he does have 28 points in 46 games this season - but chances are he'll turn out to be another Ribeiro. His work ethic is questionable and he appears inconsistent.
