Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted August 3, 2007 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=215387&hubname=nhl Interesting they'd decide to bring back one of the biggest whipping boys for fans in the modern era. I guess this is supposed to be some makeshift replacement for Souray, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted August 3, 2007 just completed "Ambush at Corellia" Book 1 of the Corellian Trilogy. It was pretty boring through the first half, but fired up towards the end. Up next is "Assault at Selonia" which is Book 2 Breeze By Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted August 3, 2007 I'm surprised at this move because of his whipping boy status, but I'm guessing that it wasn't for that much money. I guess the divealanche had no use for him anymore. He'll still be lucky to be a top 6 defenseman for Montreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) I have a feeling the Habs are going to go into a rebuilding phase of sorts. I really wouldnt be surprised to see Lecavalier tell Feaster that he doesnt want to re-sign, in which case Montreal will probably do all that it takes to get Lecavalier. If you look at their roster, they signed a lot of stop gaps - Kostopolous, Smolinski, Brisebois now, and Ryder only got a one year contract. Montreal could be on the right track in 2 years if thats their plan - theyd have Lecavalier and Koivu as an awesome 1-2 punch, Hammer and Markov headling their D-core, and a more experienced Latendresse, Higgins, Kostitsyn, Komisarek, and Lapierre...maybe even both Kostitsyn brothers, in which case likely a great deal of chemistry. Not to mention the up and coming Price. If Montreal can shed Kovalev and get Lecavalier in the next 1-2 years (which is probably his most likely destination) then they are golden.

GoHabs007 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2007 I have a feeling the Habs are going to go into a rebuilding phase of sorts. Montreal could be on the right track in 2 years if thats their plan - theyd have Lecavalier and Koivu as an awesome 1-2 Rebuilding? From what? They are simply building. The Habs have one of the top rated pool of prospects and a lot of them are very close to cracking the NHL, some already have. It's no real secret that this team is building for 2009, the 100th Anniversary of the club. Is there any French-Canadian player that the Habs have not had on their team? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen written. How about you take a look at the Habs roster and tell me how many French-Canadian players are on it and then report back. I'll give you a hint: it will be easy for you to count them, since you'll only need one hand's worth of fingers to count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrazyGangsta 79 Report post Posted August 6, 2007 Go habs ... montreal is not in a rebuilding mode now ... if they were they would trade away souray on the trade deadline ... instead they lost him for nothing ... yes they do have good rookies but why would they sign brisebois ... leadership ??? Experience ??? Isnt brisebois one of the most hated habs that left 2 years ago ??? Why would you bring him back ... yes he is cheap but he surely is not an upgrade ... I would rather leave him out and put one of my top defensmen rookies in the lineup and get him some time and experience ... if truly it is the rebuilding mode .... If i was GM of the Canadiens wich im not ... I would trade kovalev a pick for marleau then trade koivu and a pick and a prospect for vinny ... and then start to plug in the rookies and get some top free agents then i would have a contending team ... or else you guys are done for some long time ... having top prospects or not is not important ryder signed for one year and im pretty much sure that he wont return after next season ... The tax'es and the fans are just killing the team ... and gainey is just helping them... New Gm is in need in montreal You guys need a strong core to start off with wich you guys dont ... defensively you guys downgraded this year and offensively its the same as last ... goalie situation is still up in the airs ... And also one more thing i forgot to mention ... colorado was pretty much in a semi-rebuilding mode ... why dont they bring brisebois back ... cause his not that good anymore and he cant contribute to a team that has a strong potential to contend... so why would the canadiens want him ... sorry to say it habs fans but you heard it here first ... habs wont make the playoffs this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
