why would you trade Markov ?? he's the best deal in the NHL !! besides I dont see who could replace him. there isn't anybody in the system thats ready to pick it up!!

I understand it was Muller, not Jarvis who was running PP.

bpa works for later rounds but in the 1st round if you have a particular need you try to get it. I'm calling Timmins' bluff. I'm sure he's getting a centerman and when he does he's going to give us the Bpa bs even it was clear he was aiming at a centerman all along.

I'm sure it's done mor e often than we think. I still beats the way the colorado avalanche dealt with Granato and many of Avs staff. Heck, Goulet learned it on radio. If you want classless, Lacroix can give you pointers.

so they said on radio !! Idont disagree. I never really understood his role on the coaching staff.

I hate the Blues Great job !!! :clap:

en tout cas moi c'est Ovechkin mon Russien préféré !!!

hope so. I wouldn't mind seeing him in montreal to run the PP.

speaking of Lever, he and wilson have been fired by the Canadiens.

nope

c'est quoi un belarussien ??

thats the kind of move that get people fired. I also feel that somebody did do its homework on samsonov. I have to applause Lang and Tanguay though.

I think gainey's opinion on Streit was that he didn't want him back as a Dman and that streit wouldn't come back if he was a foward.

I was just pointing out how Gainey has a harder job at obtaining UFAs as there are outside reasins for that. What can he do you ask ?? -Make sure he retains the player he already has.-start signing contract as early as possible -try and gain assets for players that we may lose -make trades that will better the team long term -give as many draft picks possible to Trevor Timmins as he does a good job. -Better the pro scouts department. one cannot make another ribs for niinima trade. as for streit, if the plan wasnt to keep him why not trade him a for a pick ?

si pédaleau pis julie aux flotteurs avaient acheté l'équipe je crois que je me serais cherché un autre club.

Having that much cap space could be a fortunate situation if other NHLers were ligning up to come here. but with schooling and taxes, even quebec born players aren't whilling to come here. If komisarek leaves I'm sure it's mostly because Gainey failed to sign him early in the season when he could've happen for lesser money he's going to get. I honestly don't know why he keeps on doing this has the only time he was able to retain a guy was with Markov. he lost souray, streit and now komisarek( well, maybe). what hurts the most was that he lost them for nothing.

Savard was asked to step aside by upper management. he was given a 4 year deal but it actually was his last year of contract divided by 4( or something close). he was given as little power as possible and was pushed aside as soon as Gainey had the chance to do so. Heck, Gainey's job was supposed to start july 1st 03 but Savard wasn't even allowed to pick his own choice on draft day which was Carter or Getzlaf...not kostitsyn.

I dont think Gainey's thinking of a youth movement. Otherwize he' would've traded assets for draft picks. Besides with the club on the verge of being sold he wasn't allowed to go through a youth movement. maybe with the new owners he will be allowed if he chooses so. But in late june it's a bit late to tell the world he's going young. besides, i'm sure h'es still very agressive a aquiring a number one centre who plays in Tampa bay.

so analysing 6 years of him being gm is shortsighted ?? My guess is is if he's there in 5 years from now and he still hasn't anything you'll call us shortsighted !! Getting rid of André Savard after only 2 full years as Gm is more shortsighted than criticizing one Bob Gainey after 5-6 years. I don't know how safe his job is but I think it's a bit late for news owners to change the whole thing. to be honest I'm curious to see How Gainey will manage draft day and free agency... has long as he doesn't pull another Samsonov out of his hat just to for the sake of signing a UFA !!

Y m'énarve lui !! Bergeron is has dumb as cherry can be. and sometimes as Racist. Watch out for habs rules. he kills everybody who doesnt share his Passion for BOB IM curious to see howday to day opreations will be under the Molsons. it still can take a little while before BOG approve the sale. I really hope Mr Gillett is given the greatest Ovation on Friday. I really respect what he did for this team and this community !!! :clap:

I hope for a canada sweden final. Canada winning of course. in women's hockey I'd love a Sweden-Finland final

Perezhogin was Carbonneau whipping boy. I'm not surprised about those comments at all.
