Breaking News: McGuire trades for Phaneuf - Feb 2, 2008


In a shocking announcement made just hours ago, Canadiens GM Pierre McGuire has wasted little time in making a big splash for his club, the Montreal Canadiens.

The Canadiens send 3 first round draft picks, a second round pick in 2009, a 3rd round pick in 2008, the rights to Alexei Emelin, the rights to Alexander Perezhogin, Jaroslav Halak, Ryan O'Byrne, a 6th round pick in 2010, a 3rd round pick in 2011, Sergei Kostitsyn and Andrei Kostitsyn to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Dion Phaneuf.

Upon finalizing the deal, McGuire had this to say: "Whammo! We've now got 2 monsters here in Montreal! Opposing teams now have a choice: they can either be double-Dion'd or KO'd by Komisarek. It's all about choices, and I want to give the opposition a choice of dying by either hand. They don't discriminate, they're equal opportunity hitters."

McGuire then lept in the air and clicked his heels before running up the side of the wall.

With the trio of Markov, Komisarek and Phaneuf the Habs have undoubtedly the best defense in all of hockey. The only question that remains is this: which one wins the Norris?
