I agree that the suggested trades would not work. But, your suggested trade only works for vancouver. You ask way too much for two old veterans that have never won anything. Giving up all that young talent makes no sense.

I would think that Mtl would also want a draft pick since Halak is young, has played great, and has more upside than Clake, but having said that, it does have merit!

That hit was not a cheap shot, he didn't go head hunting and Van Ryn turned on him! Maybe you should liosten to some hockey experts like Pierre McGuire.

Let's talk about your idol, It turns out Komisarek hurt his hand, then his shoulder. It seems the shoulder was at the end when they fell, but the hand was early on in the fight. Your pal Lucic probably knew his hand was hurt, but instead of following the honour code and stopping, he kept going, which also lead to the shoulder injury. That shows that he isn't a tough guy, just a coward. Laraque asked him to dance 3 times and he turned him down... he would rather fight a non fighter and take advantage of a hand injury. He will get his. Cowards always do. I used to like and respect Lucic, not anymore!

Hey there, it has been a while since we last butted heads..lol

This time, I agree with you. I was afraid that Kovy would revert back to the player he was 2 seasons ago and he has. He is mentally fragile if he can go from being a guy wanting to be a force and role model, to a guy sulking because he gets a little less time. When you have 3 lines that should be able to score, that will happen.

For me, time has run out on Latendresse as well. he started pretty well, but he it shows he still doesn't get it. If I were gainey, I would bring Paciorrety up for a couple of games and sit Latendresse in the press box. Then put lats back in a see how it affects him. if he still doesn't play with passion and urgence, then trade him for whatever you can get! Maybe send him and Halak to a team for a 4th d-man.

hahaha…did you see that game lastnight against the bruins….what a disgrace….when is the GM going to realize this team is not even close to to being a contender,why do other teams try and make moves when they see there team is not playing up to the standards expected by the organization,and the fans and all involved(eg, philly) and the habs stand pat,Price is either not ready for the NHL or is just flat out not that good its not all his fault but he must be there when the rest stay home and he has yet to do that,they need to look long and hard at there goaltending makes giving away huet an even harded pill to swallow now than when they made the move last year,defence and they have to get rid of the dead weight they are carrying,bullion,Latendresse for sure…useless,lang does not fit in here,these changes need to be made before this team can truly dominate in this league.

No panick button please.

This team will be fine, they aren't going to win 82 games this year. It's a long season. When it's all said and done the Habs will be tops in their division and 1 or 2 in the conference.

Everyone take a downer.....

Who cares if Kovalev isn't happy with his icetime? This is a team game and it's the Canadiens that matter, not the individual.
If his line isn't clicking, as has been the case in the 1st 12 games, with few exceptions, then he should be happy that another line is picking up the slack. Ice time should be earned by, not given to, the most talented or skillful line.
Kovy needs to re-assess his priorities. I'm sure that as soon as his line starts filling the nets they will be given an abundance of icetime.

There was never going to be a 25th Stanley cup this year anyway, don’t fret.

If he is that bad but yet precisely at a point per game pace, I wonder how he'll do when on fire…
