according to this article from a french canadien website, it reports that last season, the Habs where about to trade Ribeiro, Theodore and Dagenais to the Bhawks in exchange for Khabibulin and Aucoin.

The reason why it was not officially made was because Theodore broke his ankle.


what are your thoughts?

I think that the injury of THeodore(what they say in the articles), but I think it was of Aucoin happened at the good time.
1) In exchange of Ribeiro, we, the habs, have no other center. If Koivu don't return this year, Ribeiro will be our #1 center.
2) We already have enough D's
3) In exchange of Theodore, we were receiving a goalie that had known a miserable year. Ok, maybe he will know a good year this season, but, do you see his salary, 6,5 millions!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
SO, by trading THeodore for Abeischer, we saved a lot of money!!! With this money, we have the chance to sign SAmsonov, which is a good acquisition and have a goalie(Abiescher) that, I think is better than Khabibulin.
