Duhamel and Radford, the 2013 world bronze medallists, fed off the crowd and their teammates. Skating to music composed by Radford as a tribute to late coach Paul Wirtz, the Canadians opened with a strong throw triple twist before Duhamel nailed a throw triple jump later in the program. Duhamel, of of Lively, Ont., and Radford, of Balmertown, Ont., ended with a death spiral to the delight of their compatriots, which included Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

Lecavalier quickly became one of the leagues more coveted free agents after the Tampa Bay Lightning bought out his contract on Thursday. Bergevin says the possibility of signing Lecavalier depends on a variety of factors and its too soon to say what hell do. "It will depend on many different things," Bergevin told reporters Saturday. "Contracts have been bought out and there will be others. Many things can happen before the opening of the free agent market on July 5." Bergevin also wouldnt say whether hes working to sign Norris winner P.K. Subban to an extension before heading into the final season of a two-year contract. He said any negotiations would be confidential. For the moment, the GM says his focus is on the draft. The Canadiens may try to move up from the 25th spot in the first round, Bergevin said, and even that decision could be made only once the draft gets underrway. Air Jordan Baratas Online.

"Our wish list is ready and we hope that Santa Claus will give us what we want," he said. The Habs hold six picks among the first 86 selections. Theres a good chance they use one to get a goaltender, Bergevin said. Bergevin also revealed that forward Colby Armstrong wont be back for another year.

The Canadian have three choices in the second round, including picks No. 34 and 36, which Timmins said were almost as good as first-round picks.

The Canadiens also have two picks in the third round. A pick was acquired as part of the deal that sent Erik Cole to the Dallas Stars.
