While talks between the Canadiens and soon-to-be free agent Mats Sundin are stalled, there has been progress in the negotiations with restricted free-agent Andrei Kostitsyn. Kostitsyn's agent, Don Meehan, and Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey talked on the weekend during the draft in Ottawa and there were more talks this week involving Julien BriseBois, the Canadiens' vice-president of hockey operations. While Meehan was reluctant to get into details, he said the two sides were getting closer.

Kostitsyns for Sedins?

They don't come as a pair as well, do they?

As the playoffs have shown, the Habs need to get a lot tougher. This "two for one" deal won't do it!

I think they should be trying for a Lecavalier and an Avery back up.

Whether Vinnie would want to play in a French pressure cooker is another thing altogether.

The diving Kostitsyn sisters want more cash? Why? Cause they dive so well?

June 26, 2008  11:45 AM ET

I don't see Vinnie ain't leaving Tampa. Not if the contract they're working on to keep him there long term works out. And with Stamkos coming their way .........!

"I don't see Vinnie leaving Tampa" My bad.

Vinnies locked up for his career now....77 big ones.

And nobody ever thought Gretzky would ever be anything other than an Oiler.

And nobody ever thought Gretzky would ever be anything other than an Oiler.

And nobody ever thought I would play Stairway to Heaven.

Stranger things have happened ( but not by much ).

I bet nobody thought they'd see Gretzky wearing a Blues jersey!

That's what happens when you are pastyour Best Before Date but don't know it.

If his agent has half a brain, he'll ask the Habs to use Jeff Carter's new contract offers as a benchmark. On many nights, this Belarusian undresses defenseman & is a human highlight film. Fifty-three points and twenty-six goals in his first full season is pretty darn good.

BGM, I bet you hope the Kostitsyn's leave so they quit making Chara and Ward look like pylons lol. Kostitsyns for the Sedins, pfft, please. This dude isn't as tough as his brother, but he's great along the boards. Andrei was a huge reason Plekanec and Kovalev had such good years. They need to lock him up long-term with a Mike Richards-type contract.

How can they make my players look like pylons when they're laying down crumpled on the ice? Bleeding and crying for mommy? Hhahahahaaha.Jk.

Bostongm, Give it up already. Boston is horrible and have issues. With or without Kosti bros, Habs still run circles around the Bears. You guys can't even get out of the first round..... fix your own team issues before you comment on other teasms

June 27, 2008  12:33 PM ET

I don't know...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Boston makes the conference finals next year if not the final. I know I know...I'm going to get a lot of flak from the Pens fans and the Habs fans...but Pens are going to lose a ton..and I think Price isn't going to put up the save pct he did this year. Boston is going to sign someone big before UFAs are done..maybe 2 big names. If they stay healthy they can contend for the Cup Final
