*-> It looks like Sergei Kostitsyn has had a change of heart. The speedy Belarussian has agreed to report to the Hamilton Bulldogs and end his bitter dispute with the Montreal Canadiens management. It is rumored a phone call from his brother Andrei and a 1 on 1 with Bob Gainey helped change his mind.
*-> More Habs news, it appears with Andrei Markov out for an extended period of time the organization is looking into the free agent market for help. It is rumored that Bob Gainey has spoken with Patrice Briesbois about coming back and it is believed he would under the right conditions. Another option that has been thrown about is Marc-Andre Bergeron another free agent defenseman. I personally feel the right move would to promote within because neither of those two guys can fill Markov's shoes so rather than give a spot up to them let a rookie like Carle, Webber, Belle, or Subban steal a spot. If their going to try the UFA route maybe place a call to Sergei Zubov as he has a NHL release clause still.
*-> Dominic Moore has found a new home. The defensive energy forward has signed a 1 year deal with the Florida Panthers. The deal is worth 850K$ it is rumored. Great deal for the Cats Moore is a guy who can produce playing only 3rd or 4th line minutes while giving you a valuable penalty killer and faceoff man.
