I thought it was the Tampa owner who nixed the deal?

“Sources say there was a deal in place last June to trade Lecavalier to the Montreal Canadiens for goalie Carey Price, center Tomas Plekanec and a prospect, but the deal was blocked by Bettman after Barrie refused to approve the deal. That caused a rift between Barrie and Koules that continued to fester and, combined with the financial problems both owners were having, put the Lightning in a state of flux."

especially for the package the Habs were sending to Tampa Bay in the deal

Pains me to say it, but Bettman saved us.
It must pain him as well

And what's funny is "the deal" was supposedly like 3/4 of the habs team for Lecavalier.

I find it funny when people talk about that deal like the players mentioned were ALL included in the deal. Which isn't true, because it made no (frank)ing sense at all.

I think the real deal was price, subban, plekanec for lecavalier, tokarski and a 1st

Subban was unproven, Price wasn't dominant yet, and Plekanec had just had an off year (if I remember correctly). That trade proposal now is ridiculous, but at the time it wasn't so hard to imagine.
