- Subban has put his Montreal condo up for sale. It’s certainly beautiful, but could slightly be outside of your price range if you’re interested in purchasing it. The National Post reports that the annual condo fees are estimated at around $22,572 :

- Habs’ prospect Will Bitten has asked to be traded by the Flint Firebirds of the OHL. Reportedly, he is not satisfied with the direction in which the Firebirds are headed and feels like his development could continue elsewhere, such as with a playoff team like the Ottawa 67’s.
