Segacs's World I Know

NHL draft update: The moves have started already. The Habs picked up Alex Tanguay from Calgary in exchange for this year’s first-round pick and next year’s second-round pick. Not sure how I feel about this one. Tanguay is a potentially excellent – albeit somewhat inconsistent – player. Despite his ups and downs, I’ve always kinda liked him, and I could see him fitting in well in Montreal. But then, that’s a lot of draft juice to sacrifice. Hell, that’s more than we got for Huet.

All things considered, I think Calgary – who picked up Mike Cammellari from LA, came out ahead on this one, upgrading their talent and picking up some key picks. All things considered, I think I would’ve preferred a direct deal with LA for Cammellari.

But, in Bob we trust… Right? Right?

Update #2: The negotiations are officially underway for Mats Sundin. I really, really hope this doesn’t happen.

Update #3: Flyers forward and the Habs’ playoff hopes’ worst nightmare, RJ Umberger, has been traded to Columbus.

Update #4: If the reports are true, Montrealers hoping for a return of native son Vinnie Lecavalier will be very disappointed indeed. Not that it was ever more than wishful thinking, mind you.
