- The Habs lose Ryder, Streit and Danis and perhaps even the hopes for Sundin.
- So Michael Ryder is gone for good with The Boston Bruins and Mark Streit and Yann Danis left for the New-York Islanders. What do all these players have in common? None of them received an offer from The Montreal Canadiens. But wait, Mats Sundin did. Too bad this guy is l.o.s.t.!
