Big last-minute development on a trade involving the Montreal Canadiens

"My live impressions from Nashville:

Even at this time, I firmly believe that the Habs would rather move forward than back to ensure they get their hands on a Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith."

"However, I don't see the Canadiens having the necessary resources to climb to the second rank held by the Ducks, I think discussions with the Sharks will continue today.

If Kent Hughes has to pick fifth and the players mentioned above + Bedard are selected without the Habs being able to trade, I believe the team could move down or select Reinbacher or Leonard with the 5th pick."
