Here's a link... http://www.difhockey.se/nyhet.php?news=1078 That's from Djurgårdens IF official webpage. And for thoose who don't know. Mats Sundin came frpm Djurgårdens IF and they have won the Swedish Elit Leauge 14 times.

Djurgårdens IF has signed Richard Lintner. Lintner played for Slovakia in World Championship in Finland. He also played for Sloviakian national team in the last Olympics.

If Marian said that about his brother it has to be something worth listen to. Take a look at Sens centers. They have Bonk, but then? Van Allen, Fisher, Smolinki and White. Van Allen will retire soon and Smolinski doesn't have that many years left... Marian said something about Marcel would fit best as center... And that he would love to play with his brother. That means that Ottawa should be intrested. But far as I know Ottawas economy isn't that great. Maybe they are intressted in dumping some salary? Hossa and something more for one of Sens defencemen. Makes "sens" to me...

Perreault is not our main problem! Perreault is not over-paid. Perreault give us some decent numbers. He scores and he puts up a few assists. Thats fact. And when I started to play hockey as a small kid and the coach told us what hockey was all about he told us that the goal is to score goals. More goals than the opponent. Perreault scores. Okay, he had -11 but 46 points on 73 games. And not playing all games on the 2 top lines. That's better Audette and similar to Zednik. He also have a PCTG on 16,5 Koivu has 14,2 Get rid of the players who're not producing, then trade Perreault. And remember that players use to have good season when they are playing the last years of their contracts...

If Marian said that maybe John Muckler heard... And what if we could deal one of our defencemen (Dykhuis) and Hossa for another defenceman (Redden, Phillips, Chara, Rachunek) and a pick? Then we could try to use that pick and another player (Dackell) in order to get Mikko Koivu. BTW, I have played against Mikko Koivu in Jaha Ahaamat AAA tournament in Mariehamn, Finland. He was good but the player I remember from that game most was their goalie. I think his name was Turrakaa.

I would like to have Sundström with Perreault because Yannic isn't the most defensive player. Sundström could fill that role. And I think both Bulis and Sundström could serve Perreault well. The both secure back and the are capable of delivering som good passes.

I agree. Smyth could do a lot for this team. The package would be Dykhuis, Ribs, Ward and a late round pick.

1. Saku Koivu. I think many in Montreal are blinded by the things Koivu has done. But not what he has done in the NHL. We love him for his, sometimes, genious plays. We love in because he fought cancer. But Saku is small and his body has not the right dimensions to be a first-line center in the NHL. And like someone said. Last season was his first whole since the rookie year. Koivu has to take his play one step further. At the same time he must stay healty. 2. Jose Theodore. A new Jim Carrey? I hope not. But Theodore must find his fighting spirit. Maybe he needs to feel presure. Maybe Garon could put that pressure on Theodore. But if Theodore turns out to be the next Carrey we are in deep shit. We have no given first goalie and we don't have someone to teach Garon... 3. The management. We need to trade. And we need a puck-transporting defenceman.

is never stronger than it's weakest link... When building a team the most important thing is chemestry. Look at Czerkawski. Was a hero just a couple of years ago in New York. And look what happened to him in Montreal. The coach and his staff have to bring out the best in each and every player. And I think that Sundström - Perreault - Bulis could be a really good line. Then it doesn't matter what their names are as long as they are playing well and win games for us. Take a look at Anaheim. Again.

The Bulldogs may be the best team, but do we really have any top-top-prospects? Hossa maybe, and that's the only youngster that I think deserves to play on a regular basis. Today... Ribs. Could be compared to Perreault. They're not THAT different. But Perreault is NHLs top face-off man. And just look how far Anaheim got with the best face-off stats... I think that a place on the second line is something that a player have to deserve. And I don't think Ribeiro has yet. And yeah, I want to see Perreault play with Sundström. In my eyes Sundström is one of the leauges most "under-rated" players. Ask Wayne Gretzky who is favourite player was in New York... Sundström is capable of deliver some really good passes and at the same time he is taking a big responibillity in the defensive play. And I don't think that Perreault could be a new Peca, but I do think that even older players develop their play. Zednik - Koivu - Audette Sundström - Perreault - Bulis Hossa - Juneau - Dackell Ribeiro - Kilger - Dwyer

1) He is easily replaced by Ribeiro or some other young player. So you think Ribs has proven himself to be a solid NHL-player? What has Ribs done so far? Perreault has been our most reliable scorer... 2) He has decent trade value and that could be used to fill a more pressing need. Primarily on defense!! Why would Perreaults value be better than Ribs or Juneau? And by the way, all trades this season must have in mind that their may not be a next season... 3) He is soft. True. But there's many players in Montreal that could be called soft... 4) He is poor defensively. True. Again. But he's one of our most reliable scorers... 5) He is not a good passer and our second line has too many shoot first players(I won't call them snipers because it would be an affront to snipers). He had more assists than Zednik. And do we consider Zednik as a poor passer? And yes, Perreault shoots first. So pair him with someone who doesn't. Like Sundström... 6) He is not a 3rd or 4th line player so there is no point in moving him down the depth chart...in this instance, he'd be more valuable being traded. Perreault should be on the second line. Ribs should not. 7) We've seen in the past that our coaches do not want him on the ice in crucial situations which severly limits any advantages he may give us in the face off circle...since he's not wanted on the ice due to his defensive liabilities. The key to succes is practice. I'm sure Perreault hasn't stop learning. Basically, I know that many want him around because he is a consistent 20 goal scorer and solid face off man. But that's all he is, whereas, we have young players who have a higher potential upside then this. These young players will not acheive their potential playing behind Perreault. Nor will they acheive their potential playing with him!!! Why this faith in our prospects? First we have to have a sloid team. A team that plays in the playoffs.

Veteran? I could see Berard fit in Montreal. Just like Ace Venture would have said: Like a glove.

Hmmm... Trading value? This season? I think we should wait and see what happens. There's a lockout hanging over us and I really hope that Gainey keeps Perreault.

What's the line-up? Here's what I thinks... Zednik - Koivu - Audette Sundtröm - Perreault - Bulis Hossa - Juneau - Dackell Kilger - Ribeiro - Dwyer

would anybody wish to see our most reliable scorer (Perreault) be traded? I think Perreault would be the perfect match with Niklas Sundström...

MoDo is doing business. Again. In a couple of years MoDo will have one of the best team team outside NHL. Maybe as good as a NHL team. Andreas "Salle" Salomonsson, Washington Capitals signed a 4 year deal with MoDo today. MoDo, the club that bought Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Mattias Weinhandl, Andreas Eriksson, Pierre Hedin, Hans Jonsson, Samuel Phålsson, Niklas Sundström, Per Svartvadet and Mattias Timander are building a team that could really be interesting. The are counting on having Forsberg back in a few years. And when Forsbergs leaves the NHL more will follow.

from Edmonton Oilers has signed with MoDo.

But I saw Petrov play in Switzerland and sure he was one of the better players but realize that that the Swizz leauge was no better than... hmm... Can't think of any. And he didn't dominate. He was the best player on the ice but so would Juha Lind also if he played in Switzerland.

... for the third time of his career. Or was that old news?

Have you seen Petrov play in the Swiss leauge? Or are you just quoting someone? Gretzky? Petrov played well but to compare him with Gretzky... Na.

He is heading overseas but not to play for Västra Frölunda. Calle will be working as a scout in Europe for Washington Capitals.

Calle said to the Swedish newspaper Göteborgsposten today that he won't play for a team thats not in the race for the cup. He also said that the only club for him to play in if he comes back to Sweden it's Västra Frölunda. Calle Johansson had a meeting with Frölundas coach Conny Evensson yesterday and all the experts places him in Västra Frölunda the coming season.

It's official. Per Svartvadet is under contract with MoDo. Sweden.
