After Ryder (2-3 million), that doesn’t leave us with anything. If Gomez was to get the 5 million he’s looking for, we’d have to ship off more than just Riberio and Abby. I really can’t see this happening at all. Abby will be our backup starting in Oct. As much as I want Huet to play as well as he did last season, I still want a backup capable of walking right into the job and playing well. Sure Abby didn’t start off all that great last year, but he was 29-17-2 last season.

Secondly, the two top teams in the division last year haven’t weakened a considerable amount and the leafs and bruins have vastly improved. You cannot base anything on how last season went. Will Koivu return his old form? Will Huet play as well now that he has earned himself a multi year contract? It is going to be much more difficult for the habs to beat any team in their divison, especially the leafs. The Habs are undersized and it will become a lot harder for their small forwards to penetrate the leafs d with the likes of gill at 6’7 250 and kubina 6’5 230, not to mention the newly acquired defensve specialst mike peca. Now i was just trying to stir things up and I’d rather see the habs in the playoffs before the sens or sabres but I honestly cannot see the habs making the playoffs over the leafs and if they make the playoffs period they will not be making any significant run thats for damn sure…Now I am not iggnorant to reality and the leafs do hjave a lot of ifs as well however if the leafs remain healthy i think they can finish in the top four in the east and possibly make it past the first round at the very least

Please – you’re just a pathetic jealous loser that can’t even accept the fact that Montreal is an improved team and is definately a playoff a team. If they were last year, they definately will be this year too.

Especially this one by Drifter…..you must know jack about hockey because that was idiotic the chances of the habs getting thornton are none not slim to none, they wouldn’t get joe for any combination of up to 4 players on this roster get serious…secondly if u think Gainey or “Mr. Productive” this offseason is gunna get Marleau or Gomez you need to give your head a shake mister. WHo in the hell to the habs have as trade bait for either of those guys you clown. And this is for all of u jokers who think the samsonov signing was the best thing since sliced bread, he played a minor role in edmonton and will not tally more than 65 points this year mark my words. And in conclusion the habs will not only miss the playoffs but they will sit in the basement of the northeast for the duration of ths season. Keep dreaming you jack@$$es

Montreal is probably one of the teams that is in one of the best positions to make a deal without giving too much on the roster and in depth with our prospects.

And with Belfour being passed over by Detroit I’d like to see Abby go there with Ribeiro and a prospectdraft pick for Lang and a draft pick. Just what I’d like to see. But in my opinion there is no way they should have signed the underperforming, undersized Ribeiro for so much money. Make it tough for other teams to want him in a trade deal. Just my opinion.

Sure he’s alright, but how many GM’s plans have room for a guy like Ribeiro? The main bate here is Abischer. If we hope to get anything good for him, he would likely be accompanied by Ribeiro or a prospect, a decent one! Unless there is a big salary dump to take advantage of, we might have to consider the horrible reality that landing a big centre would require losing a workhorse like Markov, or one of our few top liners. The possibility of Lang or Gomez is intriguing, but don’t expect anything to happen until the season starts. I mean who knows if Danis is ready for the NHL???

But Boston was also in a tail spin to the bottom of their division, they had to shake something up…they were desperate. Why in the world would they trade Marleau? How could the Sharks possibly improve?? I mean, the guy is a legit #1 center on any other team!! Unless SJ is running into some SERIOUS cap problems, which they aren’t, or are really desperate for another player, which they aren’t, then they might trade.

They have two amazing goaltenders to trade, straight up, for whatever they might need. Marleau is staying put, if he does get traded I’ll eat my sock.
