On the same day winger Steve Begin was traded, sources say Montreal Canadiens defenceman Mathieu Dandenault may be the next to go.

The 33-year-old has politely informed Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey he would like to be moved and according to source, Gainey has agreed to help him out.

Dandenault is in the final year of a three year contract that pays him $1.75 million per season and depending on the return, moving him could help Montreal create cap space for any additional trades made up to the March 4th trade deadline.

It's too bad but unfortunately Dandy has to go. He in my opinion wasn't used to his full potential and could of been a better player with the habs. Bob Gainey didn't have him in the plans and the young guys have been getting more ice time than dandenault. Whatever team he ends up playing for will have a good two way player who can play forward or defense. Dandenault is still a valuable player in this league. He is one of my favourite players on montreal.
