  1. Chipchura is a prime candidate to be dealt at the deadline. He has had 3 pro seasons to make his mark in Montreal, and doesn’t seem any closer than he ever was to winning a regular spot.

  2. I feel badly for Chipchura. I like him and think he could be effective 3rd line shutdown center but his skating due to his injury is hampering him.

    Chipchura could be dealt Wednesday but I’m not sure there are any takers right now. If not tomorrow, there is a good chance he will go in the offseason.
