Insider: Canadiens' Crosby Hopes Dashed?
The Montreal Canadiens cling to a fading dream of prying Sidney Crosby from Pittsburgh, but insiders whisper that the Penguins' surprise playoff surge slams the door shut.

Eyes now turn to realistic targets like Nazem Kadri, as the Canadiens weigh cap space and assets in a market heating up fast.
