Besides we all know that Bob has never pulled the trigger on any of the rumoured trades,if he does something its going to be totally unexpected.

Now that his role has been demoted to a 3rd-4th line, I believe he should play where he is more needed as Washington is rumored to be interested in his services.

On another note, Ribeiro should have this same impact with Samsonov and Kovalev as his regular wingers. Bob gave Ribeiro a raise and more importantly, another chance to prove his worth this season. Below 65 points, I think he doesn’t belong here anymore. Above it, I expect a long-term contract along with Ryder’s case.

And Dumont is not a 3rd line player, as he lacks 2 way ability.

Additionally, Gainey has SAID that he liked Bonk’s play at the end of the season, and that he showed his worth. How would trading Bonk, weaking our 4th line, improve our team? Dumont can’t fit in the top 2 lines, so there really isn’t a place for him. Unless Koivu is out, which doesn’t seem to be the case right now, this is not going to happen…Bonk ain’t leaving, and that’s fine by me. Chip needs a full season in the AHL, as Maxim isn’t quite ready for full time duty in the NHL either.

but Team 990 are liars

This is what happens when you give someone with no formal education a medium to speak!
While his idea sounds nice, I’ve heard it before from people here on this site.
It’s fun reading HABS rumors, but the bottm line is that we’ll only know about a move when it happens…as there is no one more tight lipped in the business then BOB.
Good luck fellow habs fans!!

I think that Dumont would add a little size and some more depth on offence. And he actually wants to play for the Habs. Bonk is a waste of space and money, I understand that he is good on the PK but we have other players that can fill that role for much cheaper. If Bob can pull this one off I say go for it. If someone wants Ribeiro we can do the same thing with him, dump his salary either way the team gets stronger.

One last thing, here’s hoping that Koivu will be on the ice on opening night…

Go habs go… I can’t wait for it to start.

I wouldn’t mind, although I was at the last Habs vs. Leafs game last year in MTL where he had like 3 or 4 points lol. Then we get Dumont for 4 years at 2.5 million a year… hmmm, he did get 20 goals in like 5 games and wants to play in MTL. I would be very happy and I agree with the previous post that we would have an incredibly talented 3rd line and great depth when injuries and fatigue take their toll. I don’t want to see Markov moved though, and as long as he and Kovalev get along I don’t think he will be (unless it was for someone of equal talent), we don’t have a lot of depth yet at D with the loss of Hainsey in that *****ing waiver draft. We do have a couple good young guys now though with that kid from Russia (Emelein?) and Fischer. I definitely don’t want to see Ryder go, but perhaps these rumours keep popping up because Gainey sees something we don’t see. If Ryder is on the move you can be sure to expect something good in return as I’m sure any team in the league would take him. Trade Bonk and sign Dumont! =)
