*-> George Laraque and Steve Begin both have shown displeasure in their roles for Montreal as of late. Begin who told La Press this week that he already spoke to Bob Gainey about the lack of ice time and having to sit most nights. He went as far as to say if he can't help Montreal out maybe he should help another team. George Laraque also told the French press that he was fed up with not playing and questions whether the Habs actually need his services. He was pesimistic about a trade but said if Gainey had no plans for him he'd be willing to move. Both players would definatly be wanted elsewhere and would bring in a mid pick. Pittsburgh is reportedly interested in Laraque.
*-> Bryan Murray has officially confirmed he will try and shop winger Chris Neil and UFA defenseman Filip Kuba if a deal isn't signed by deadline day. Murray has said Neil has attracted a lot of attention especially from the Red Wings and the Sharks.
*-> Keeping with Ottawa news defenseman Christof Schubert has pretty told Bryan Murray he wants out unless he's going to get ice time on defense. Schubert who has been a healthy skratch most of the season has been juggled between forward and defense. Rumor has it a couple teams are interested but might wait to see if Murray will waive him or Brendan Bell first.
*-> Last of all exiled goalie Martin Gerber will be placed on reentry waivers in the next 48 hours to see if any teams will claim him. There is some interest in Columbus and Calgary to help them out but both teams are expected to try and make a deal for Scott Clemmensson of the New Jersey Devils who was sent down to Lowell of the AHL yesterday. Clemmensson did not have to pas through waivers as he was called up on emergency to replaced Brodeur and Weekes after they were injured.
