Habs77 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 On another board someone said: Rivet is Koivu's best buddy...he's not goinganywhere. To which I replied: Sorry but that's the worst argument ever... Savage & Recchi used to be best buddies with Saku last time I checked they no longer play for the Habs.Do you really think GMs talk like this? : Gainey: Hey, I was wondering if Worrell & Huselius were available. Dudley: They might be, I need a D man... is Rivet available? Gainey: Oh, sorry there Rick... Rivet is tight with Saku so no way am I trading him. Dudley: Shit, I didn't know. But I understand where you're coming from, Worrell & Huselius are the only guys with no friends on the team.. that's why I can move them. Gainey: Breezer doesn't have any friends, you like him? Dudley: Hehe, good one Bob. But let me know if Rivet & Saku's friendship fizzles... we might have a deal. Gainey: You got it buddy, catch you later. (later) Gainey calls Saku's home and leaves a message: "hey Hanna it's Craig, I had a great time last night... gimme a call once Saku leaves for practice ok? I'm on the DL so I can come over while he's at practice" André Savard walks in as Gainey is leaving the message: "Wow Bob, thank god you took over... I'm learning so much" Gainey just sits back in his chair... with the satisfaction of a job well done. (the end) I thought I'd share the story here.. how I think Gainey's presence might be helping the Habs, and how GMs deal with other GMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
