SAKS-AVENUE

71 GOALS Big Scorer? You mean F*&KIN BIG SCORER. The guy scored 71 goals in 69 games last year. How does this get over looked in the draft? Am I missing something here? http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdispla...pid%5B%5D=70563

Ya, that's the only one. He gets his ass beat in the other five up on you tube. He's a ragdoll. We need someone that will win the fights. Jury is out on this dude. Another Downey if not worse.

Exactly! He will end up looking like a fool and not getting what he was holding out for. He could have just stayed with the Habs and been happy. By waiting and asking for more money not realizing Gainey was being more then fair with all things considered it's just funny how teams walked away. All due respect to Sheldon I'll bet his agent screwed all this up for him. Ya he might get a little more then 5.5 or less but longer terms. I hope nobody signs him untill January. What a knob.

Most likely the devils..........What a dick. I can't beleive it.....Boy Oh Boy that mother f%^6ker is going to hate coming to Montreal now. I hope he never forgets this and has to sign for much less somewhere else. -With everyone getting so much stupid money How did Souray shoot himself in the foot?

Wow. I guess you didn't think about it for 3 seconds. BTH makes a strong point on why this thread is useless. Think again while you munch on your popcorn. Gainey can't and won't trade his centers and Tampa won't trade Richards. Get it?

I was thinking about things myself and after reading the Gazette article on Hammer.......we did good. Him and Markov will be great leaders for the kids coming up, they say Phaneuf was so good because of his mentor. We'll see. On Souray......Wow not signed yet? Wonder what's happening. He's going to end up on a shitty Islander team and suck next year or god forbid the Bruins........I will go to the Bell center and throw stinking fish at him every time he comes through in a Bruins jersey. This year was his only big year. I was checking his stats and realized how unproven he his offensively, and who knows how his operation really went. He might actually really blow this year for whoever signs him. Way to go Bob, Thanks for being a smart hockey man slowly and wisely setting this ship straight.

Recently in these forums people have been calling players STUDS...........Why? It's kind of creepy.

Maby Selanne isn't going to retire either. Shit that would be cool. I'd still like Shanny. Maby Lang, but I don't know if he would help like we want him to. One of these guys must want to play here. Shanny said he was close, last year ...can the Rags afford him now?

I hope Souray stays but if no-one wants to be here then why would he.

Logical....forget it....that would really be a waste of money

We are doomed boys, we should have never left the old forum. The bell center is to blame and I guess the new state of the art sports facility they're building isn't perking up palyers. Hey ....here's an idea. With the crazy ticket prices and sold out games and practices for god' sake can't Gilette off set the taxes by giving these guys cars and houses to attract them. I know it sounds stupid but unless their is some sort of exemption for players that's it we will have a shit team for life.

Ya huge frickin problem for the HABS that is for sure. MAN O MAN Gainey threw more money at these guys and still lost out. I wonder what the word amongst the players really is about Montreal and why no-one wants to play here except Saku Koivu, P.K subbon and Angelo Esposito.

Ummm did you pay attention to last season? You think this year will be any better?

He forked more then the Flyers in cash but not in years. I think he is wary on TIME. I don't blame him for that.

Shanny was a 1 year deal? I don't get it how are the rangers going to pull this off money wise unless the rest of the team will be 100 000 dollar farmers. Is Gainey sitting laughing somewhere? We are going to get our ass's kicked next year. Or be the cheap blooming flower that wins the cup with our farm team. Please Price be the real deal sooooooooooon!!!! What the f&*k is Souray waiting for?

Great, all I see is a Kariya to Montreal rumour. I smell a Samsanov season all over again. That is one guy I don't want!!!!

SO DRURY and Souray? No news? I realize all the Amens for the Briere deal, but where does no movement leave the habs? If we lose Souray and we don't add anything it will be a long long long year as the rangers and flyers work us over all year long.

The signing is not that crazy. 6.5 million is not that much for a great player these days. If things don't go well they can trade him. Trade clauses mean nothing in my eyes.....everyone knows that. When all is said and done the Flyers are going to kick ass next year. They are set in net........slowly putting together a strong team. Good prospects to fill holes....overpaying a little, but friggin strong. They just got a whole lot better in just 3wks. Gainey needs to give it up a little. Geez we signed Theo to a dumb deal and still got rid of him. Live in the NOW!!!!!!

F&^CK!!!!!!!

I just recently read all talking between what ever parties can occur, no actual contract can be offered though. It has to be this way, I just can't see how it could be policed otherwise.

Good one!!!!!

Gainey will not give him 4. Trade him to the leafs then and get Marleau.

It's the new NHL. Haven't you realized that this is what you have to do to get a good player now. It migt suck but in a year or two this deal may seem great compared to the crap that teams will be dishing out. Ryder wants 4 million.....now that is a problem

YUP!!!!!!! I'm Thrilled!!!!!! As soon as Souray hears ...he will sign too!!!!!!!

Things are not going to change with a small signing. We need some hard core action to at least address one main position this year or we are putting everything on Saku again. It's not going to fly for another year. We will suck again next year and battle for the play-offs. WE NEED A CENTER!!!!! AND WE NEED HIM NOW!!! Briere is worth the bucks.......Good for french fans...good for Saku......good for Carbs....goood for Kovalev....... Goood good goooooood....no down sides Pay him the bucks, let's move on to the next need.....WE HAVE THE DOUGH
