I cannot disagree with anything written by TheStryker. Bob Gainey is salivating! While not completely out of the playoff hunt, the Canadiens are not in a position to bulster their lineup and aren't playing hungry enough to nail down a playoff birth. Rivet and Souray are definitely hot commodities and the Sharks and Ducks have to be their premier suitors. Who else is looking? Maybe the Canucks and even the Stars. Heck, throw in the Leafs if Ferguson panics. This is SO a seller's market!!!

This ia harfd to read without laughing. First of all Zhitnik is better than Rivet by far. Second of all Brian Burke isn't an idiot.
He woujldn't give up Corey Perry for Peter Forsberg, what makes you think he'll give up Getzlaf for Souray who's bottom 10 in plus minus. with a -15. Souray is a horrible defencman that doesn`t belong in the NHL, if it wasnt for his shot he`d be useless

If the habs don't make the playoffs then blame should be directly placed on gainey. I admit he is a very good g.m. but he sat on his hands way too long while the team was slumping. He should of learned about the total lack of character and leadership this team has from last years playoffs after koivu went down, he needed to bring in grit and leadership , not another perimeter player. This team still has a shot to make the playoffs but not with the current roster and especially the fact that the teams around them have games in hand. Carbo is not at fault here, he's doing the best with what he has to work with its like squeezing juice from a turnip. If anything they should add a martin lapointe or an ian laperierre and one top six forward, not like a bill guerin who's like 36 but more like a dianius zubrus who is only 28, who can be given a 4 or 5 year deal to. Or wait till the off season and try to bring home briere.

…Because a Carter trade article has been posted the day he's been traded so no need to post another one.

I think the Habs should just sit tight and try to go with what they got, If they don't make it then Target Vinny in the off-season

outside of montreal, souray is not the defenseman that he is proclaimed as. he is a very solid d-man, but getzlaf has a ton of potential. and perezoghin is not a top prospect, he is a depth roster player at this point. as well, i wouldnt give up getzlaf and o'brien for souray and tkachuk. getzlaf is young and has a very bright future. either blue is a UFA, and thats alot to have walk away. the ducks have three years to win a cup, and if getzlaf scores thirty goals in 2009 then it was worth it to keep him around. however, giving up that first for souray would make sense.
