You are 100% correct. Bertuzzi would suck and Souray is needed by the Habs.

Only a complete and total buffoon would consider this trade. Which is what frightens me.

NO WAY!!!!

I do not want Bertuzzi in Montreal. I live here in Vancouver and am sick and tired of people speaking of Bertuzzi as if he were God. He is 31 years old and has plateaued in his career. His best season was the peak of his career and he will not improve over the next x numbers of years. What you see now, is what you will see for the rest of his career.

Montreal anyways has players that could potentially be solid for years to come such as Perezhogin, Kostitsyn, Higgins, Plekanec, Latendresse, Emlin, etc. and does not need a player such as Bertuzzi. They could get the power forward they need by signing Jokinen in th offseason.

And he’s undisciplined, just what Montreal doesn’t need. But he’s still only in the single digits in the concussion department. I don’t think he’s got that much good hockey in front of him.

You see the SHIFT key on the right side of the keyboard? About two keys to the left of that, there's another key. It's called a period. Use it. It won't make your keyboard fall apart.

And talk about over-rating players. Cooke is what, a third-line agitator? Yeah, not something the Habs need in their lineup. We need guys who can put the puck in the net with regularity, and the only guy who's been able to do that this season so far is a guy I believe you took a shot at. He's a goal away from another 25-goal season, and has a realistic at a 30-goal campaign. So he's not 6' 3", 245 lbs, and crashing everything that moves. He's not a superstar anywhere west of Port aux Basques, but he is a star in Montreal. And the way Bertuzzi has been crapped on, he's not a superstar east of Vancouver anymore.

And just to make the final point, I don't see the Habs getting Bertuzzi at all, period. I would surprised if they traded for anyone of significance. I thin the target is a mid-level defenceman or an exchange of underperforming forwards.

I was responding to GG_idiot with his “if I was Bob Gainey I’d quit cuz Montreal sucks” comment.

And it was “A propos” since idiot is in his name.

And I’m 30.

Good comment, I only disagree with the inclusion of Rivet in your list of players the Habs can let go... he has been a major reason why a D that looks terrible on paper has only been mediocre, and he is putting up career offensive numbers, and is the second best D behind Markov.

You would think that would make him good trade bait, but unfortunatley only people who watch every Habs game closely seem to appreciate him, so I say keep him. Secret weapons are always an asset.

No one says Perezhogin Zednik or Souray are superstars, no one’s that stupid, except you because that’s the same as calling Bertuzzi a superstar.

Ryder is the better player, and alot younger, and he's learning to hit while Bertuzzi never hits anymore.

Add to that Souray is giving Montreal plenty of valuable veteran minutes back there that Mark Streit is not going to replace, and the deal you've suggested is suicide for Montreal.

Plus Gainey cannot afford to be limp wristed with draft picks, the Habs have very litlle D in the system and need to draft a first-round D.
