Rumours galore

Lots of rumours out there, most of it speculation that isn't very realistic. Among the most prominent:
  • John LeClair coming back to Montreal for a playoff push (from Eklund). I believe this is highly unlikely - LeClair is old and hasn't had an amazing season. He's past his prime and wouldn't be worth the price.
  • Sheldon Souray to the Canucks for Todd Bertuzzi. Again, this won't happen; Bob Gainey doesn't want Bertuzzi, and Souray had 3 assists in the Habs' first post-Olympic break game, proving he's still an asset to the Canadiens.
  • Chicago has been sending scouts to Canadiens games, presumably regarding a Tyler Arnason deal. I've always said if the Habs can get rid of Mike Ribeiro for a decent second-line centre, they should, and Arnason fits the bill. Ribeiro has been playing well enough (read: not lazily) lately for him to be attractive to other teams.

These are the most recurrent from around the Internet. There are countless other rumours going around - Willie Mitchell, Denis Gauthier, etc... - but of all the crazy talk out there this has been the most legitimate. Still nothing really that I could see actually happening just yet, but it seems like it's heating up.
