With time ticking down to the start of the regular season, Marc Bergevin needed to finally make those tough roster moves that he has been talking about since the start of camp. Albert Pujols Jersey . The first order of business for the Canadiens general manager was to pick a back-up goaltender. Bergevin decided to trade away his veteran backup Peter Budaj along with prospect Patrick Holland to the Winnipeg Jets. In return the Canadiens received forward Eric Tangradi who was assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs, giving 25-year-old Dustin Tokarski the backup job. Tokarski had an impressive performance last spring when he replaced the injured Carey Price in the Eastern Conference Final against the New York Rangers. Bergevin called Price to let him know Budaj was no longer with the team. He was one of my best friends, it sucks but at the same time we have another guy who I am pretty good buddies with so it was going to be a lose-lose situation no matter what, Price said when asked about the trade. It was even harder to hear that his teammate from the past three seasons had been placed on waivers shortly after being acquired by the Jets. Price has faith that Budaj will eventually make it back to the NHL. Not long afterwards Bergevin announced that Francis Bouillon will not be offered a contract by the Canadiens. The veteran defenceman was invited to camp on a Professional Tryout basis, instead the team is giving their young defencemen like Jarred Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu the opportunity to prove what they can do at the NHL level. I met with Tinordi and Beaulieu today and told them its really hard to make the NHL and its even harder to stay. They need to keep getting better, Bergevin told the media. The Canadiens still have to trim one more man from their roster and it will most likely be a forward as Bergevin is not a fan of going with six defencemen. The final decision needs to be made before Tuesday at 5pm et. Ricky Nolasco Jersey . The Rays hope to stay alive for the postseason and salvage the finale of this series Sunday at Rogers Centre, where they dropped a 7-2 decision Saturday. Chris Archer lasted 2 1/3 innings in the no-decision, charged with a run and five hits, and Alex Torres suffered the loss in relief. Ben Revere Jersey . "It was awesome," he said. Coming off an ugly three-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, Toronto found itself in a deep hole early after the Reds put an eight spot up on starter Liam Hendriks (six runs in 1 2/3 innings pitched) and Todd Redmond in the second. http://www.baseballangelslockroom.com/customized/ . Linemates Ryan Johansen and Boone Jenner each had a goal and an assist in the first period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 36 saves to lead the Blue Jackets past the Florida Panthers 4-1 on Saturday night.SYDNEY, Australia -- The Los Angeles Dodgers placed pitcher Josh Beckett and outfielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list Friday in paring their active roster to 25 players for the season opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Australia. Chad Billingsley, still recovering from right elbow surgery, also was put on the DL. Beckett has a bruised thumb and Kemp is rehabbing from ankle surgery. The moves are retroactive to March 19, so all three players are ineligible to return until April 3. That means theyll miss at least a three-game series in San Diego from March 30 to April 2. Left fielder Carl Crawford also was inactive. He is on paternity leave. Arizona optioned pitchers Charles Brewer and Zeke Spruill to the minors. The Dodgers and Diamondbbacks open the Major League Baseball season Saturday (4 a. Mike Trout Jersey. m. EDT) at Sydney Cricket Ground. In addition, the Dodgers optioned backup catcher Tim Federowicz and reassigned outfielder Joc Pederson, pitcher Zach Lee and infielder Miguel Rojas to the minors. The moves left the Dodgers payroll -- including cash transactions in trades -- at a record $239.8 million for 34 players. But that probably wont be their opening day payroll, which will be calculated as of the March 30 game against San Diego, when all teams have to be down to 25 active players. The Diamondbacks were at $112.7 million for 30 players. Both teams came to Australia with 30 players for the two-game series, which ends Sunday. Beckett, Kemp and Billingsley did not make the trip.
