My point is that he isn’t big enough to go to the net and take abuse. Many smaller guys can hit hard in the corners and get a loose puck, but in order to park in the slot you have to be at least as big as the defensemen who will be crosschecking you.

This year isn'r the right time, when Juneau, Perreault, Traverse, Dykhuis, Dackell will be gone after this season and the youngsters will have played a full year, then maybe they would make bigger moves.

Spending wisely like I said is the opposite of bringing Jagr in MTL. I think they will be more active on the free agents market next summer or the one after, all depend where the club will be situated towards the others. But cash, sure Gillett has to spend...at the right time.

Dude, maybe they want to unload Koivu(which they don’t)and Briesbois for Jagr maybe because they want some money spend in other areas, just maybe. And why doesn’t he use it? How long’s he been there for? Oh yeah, 6 months. Maybe, just maybe…he’s waiting for the right player to come along.

Jordin Tootoo of the Nashville Predators is 5’9 and 195… and he hits like a mack truck. Your point is?

Cheap ownership.

If he has money, then why doesn't he use it?

Perhaps you've missed the whole point about this website, it's all about speculation! every suggested trade doesnt have to happen and this one wasnt a suggestion, it was a genuine rumor AND i thought it was believable enough to write an article about it.

Frankly, i didnt even pay any attention to the Jagr rumor since i thought it was silly, neither have i paid any attention to the "hey, let's swap captains" rumor. The Carter one was believable since Montreal is in dire need of a good winger and the Rangers are desperate enough to maybe want a shot at one of our sub-par players.

I didnt go proposing 4th liners for Carter either like most of those Leaf trades you mention, i merely mentionned my wish for the Habs to unload Craig "look! i can play just as bad on offense too!" Rivet, but frankly, the Habs would get future considerations for him and i'd be happy.

IHMO, you were the only one who whined in this thread, except for your fourth sentence, which was a good contribution.

You miss the point but about salaries, Gillett has money, if it’s well invested. The rest is bullshit.

It’s not the media, it’s salary figures.

This kind of crap is built up by the medias, don’t be credulous, gms rarely (see never) discovered their talks, media only speculating.
