I said other sports. Baseball,football and Basketball have all had championship coaches who came back from the media. You cherry pick one lame ass coach.

Couldn't we extend him before making a move

Exactly. I'd rather package the high pick for a Staal,Ryan type player,and throw $10m @ Weber or $8m @ Parise.That's the only way we turn around. Not from an unproven kid,who is 50/50 at best to make an impact

Geoffrion was either nervous or looked like just another mid-level hab AHLer. And Palushaj has got to be the worst hab I've seen in 10,15,30,40 yrs. He can't even make a stick to stick pass.Bring up Schultz and send him down to help Hamilton

Being in the media has helped many ex-coaches in other sports to come back successful

Unfortunately you can't usually predict how an 18 yr old is going to turn out.need a total housecleaning,starting with BG,and then the rest of the ex Ottawa losers,goat and Timmins Not only are the habs irrelevant in the NHL,but are now irrelevant to the home fans. what a crappy state of affairs

That can't be true,can it?Maybe his most pathetic if true.

i'm with you. It's pointless having an enforcer when the season is over,unless it's to take the pressure off White. Besides Stewart,there were plenty of tough guys who can play,that were available cheap on July 1st. Rupp,Torres,Winchester,Asham,Konopka,Vandermeer,O'Brien and others. You can pick off some you don't like,but 3 of those type of guys scattered in the lineup would have made a big difference this season. For toughness and character. All for around $5m combined.

Yeah,he got treated like crap all year. He has been set up to fail. Give him Pacs and Cole,and I would think he'd be the leading scorer by a wide margin. he's close as it is. Those lines are definitely reminiscent of the 2000 habs

Ha ha. Comparing two inconsistent lazy floaters. Neither one has produced this year. They're both known dogs. I am glad AK and his 3 goals last 31 games,0 g in 14 game streak that he does every year is gone. I just can't believe we're stuck with the same b.s for another 4 yrs w/ Bourque. He's as untradeable as Kab or maybe even Gomez

hopefully we' won't see him again in montreal,as he will be upgraded

I rated deadline day B-, C+. We got assets for the only two UFA's that had any value. Moen may be hurt long-term so no offers were made.Campoli,Darche and Nokie have zero value. They were basically unwanted UFA's/journeymen. Kaberle and Gomez are untradeable because of their contracts.

Good move sending LL down. We don't really want him here in this situation for the rest of the year

Campoli,Weber,Kaberle,Darsche,Moen,Nokie,Budaj and Gomez could all be gone under the right circumsatnce. Replacing 8 players sounds close to a rebuild to me.

I'd like to put some kind of wager that he's on another team . No way he comes back to this circus.

I like fighting,not a fan of goons,BUT White can't do it alone. He needs some help in the fisticuff dept. he is coming of a serious injury. I like the Rags acquiring Scott to offset any B.S the B's or Flyers might try

i guarantee Moen will be one of the first UFA's signed by another team.he's not coming back,nor should we want him to for anything more than a year or 2.Kab. wouldn't be SO BAD if he was in a big,rugged defense corps,instead of one of the softest in NHL history Not even being able to garner a 7th for Campoli shows why he was unsigned before the season and what a friggin lame acquisition he was

"Pile-of sh*t staying up here,means the tank is on full force. We have 20 games left. Right now I think we are the worst team in the NHL,and would be surprised to see us win more than 5 or 6 of our remaining 20.Especially based on our play over the last week or so.

If my team was in the playoffsIi would no doubt take Gaustad over AK. This is a classic move of addition by subtraction. I never liked the trade of Sergei,as even at 20 he played all 3 forward positions,the point on the PP and killed penalties.Things AK never could do. He was immature at 21. Who isn't?

Not a good title but not much positive to say when you're one of the 3 worst teams in the league,and basically a laughingstock as an organization.

Good answer. I'd be happy if he could do that in the 40-50 games that Malone did it.

I don't think I've ever been too happy on trade deadline day,(or July 1st). The worst was in 2008,when we were rumoured to be getting Hossa and our only move was trading Huet for a 2nd.We were legit contenders that year

I am of the opinion that Kaberle is immovable because of his contract.Don't be shocked if we don't make a single move.

I voted two on the poll,and think that may be wishful thinking.
