A lot of scoring depth on Montreal. If the Kovalev/Samsanov line gets a good player to feed them the puck (plekanec or maybe later this season even… kostitsyn?), they can each get 30+ goals no problem. Koivu is always a solid 20+ goals and I think this may be the year for Higgins. Higgins and latandresse may have a break out year. Not to mention that all four of montreals lines this season are strong. Even the fourth line, Bonk and Begin are good players. Johnson will also be a good asset to the team. Ryder is a tad overrated and sometimes hogs the puck but he’s going to get close to 30g or more. Now that Ribeiro is gone, we have a solid defensemen(Ninimaa). We also got Traverse and once Bouillion comes back Montreal will have an average defense instead of sub-average. All is relies on really is Huet’s play. If Huet does well, Montreal could possibly get a really good record. It’s in the hands of Huet for now cause the defense just isn’t there. When it is, Huet will start to give up less goals hence after the first month or two of the season making montreal one of the strongest teams in the conference. A lot more scoring depth then many of the teams out there. 4 solid lines. Komisarek’s improvement in just one year in the NHL is astonishing. Ninimaa + Bouillion + Markov + Souray etc = pretty good defense, aswell as good defensive forwards.

If they trade Souray for Pouliot (take it for what it worth even if Souray become UFA at the end of the season) that just a salary dump.

Pouliot can be the type of guy that Gainey want but he is not NHL ready.

Vancouver trade just forget that, both team want to drop salary so…

Traverse has already been placed on the waiver wire, being sent down to Hamilton.

And before I say anything else:
Where did you get these rumors from?!??

I’m sorry, but I’m just pissed about always hearing these stupid false rumors…anyway, let’s see how realistic they are.

If both Souray and Ribeiro had been offered, it would have been a better deal for L.A. so I really doubt they turned down a top 4, PP offensive defenceman when they had the chance.

The Vancouver, like you said, is not going to happen. They don’t have another center like Morrisson that could a spot on the top two lines, although depth in their defensive corp is a question

The Edmonton one is sort of viable, though, even if you’re not basing it on thin air. Edmonton could really use another defenceman on the PP with a shot like Souray’s, and Pouliot is a decent center with decent size who could fill out more. That being said, Souray is NHL proven and Pouilot is not. If it were for a higher quality or more experienced center, maybe, but as is that trade is a definite no-go

all im saying is don’t expect a 500 record out of october with our current roster

Even though some people dont like him and he is know for being burned from time to time, he is a very important part of our defence. Without him we will be dead in the water.
Also we have learned from every move that Gainey has made to date, that if you heard about the move, then it wont happen. He will do something unexpected, but i doubt it will happen before the trade deadline…
