Does Montreal Have One More Deal In Them?

from Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette,
I called general manager Bob Gainey Monday and received the usual message:
“Hi, this is Bob Gainey. I’m not in. You can leave a message, but don’t expect a call back until I do something.”
There’s no reason to expect a call from Gainey, who was busy last month. He said goodbye to 10 unrestricted free agents and brought in seven new bodies.
So why are there all the rumours about an impending trade and some expensive, big-name players?
Perhaps, it’s because Gainey himself left the door open on July 1 when he announced the first wave of acquisitions and said he had until October to find the elusive big centre.
Or maybe it’s because the salary cap and Dany Heatley’s desire to be traded have set forces in motion.
