NHL Trade Deadline, rumours, etc.

[housenuts]

just looking for some thoughts other ppl here have with regards to the upcoming trade deadline and trades that you'd like to see or think will happen.

i'm a montreal and vancouver fan so obviously i'd like to see them make some nice acquisitions.

montreal is in serious need of a performer. they haven't had a superstar there in a long time. their leading scorer is a defenceman, and he isn't even in the top 50 in league scoring. when your team doesn't have one single player in the top 50 in league scoring you know there's offensive trouble.

rumors have it montreal is interested in forsberg and he would also wave his no trade clause to come to montreal. i wouldn't risk giving too much for this guy because he'd only be a rental for this year. i'd much prefer getting a star that we could build around for the next couple years. we have tons of young talent to trade away as well, and some cap space to work at.

2 people i'd like to see them acquire would be Olli Jokinen and Nathan Horton from Florida. I'd trade anyone on our roster for these guys, including Captain Koivu. he just isn't putting up numbers that a #1 centre and captain should be.

Bertuzzi could also look good in a habs uniform, but he is streaky. if he was consistent i'd love to get him.


I'll write about my Vancouver thoughts later.
