NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Hey NFM, Montreal traded Steve Begin to Dallas for Doug Janik http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=268795&lid...s=topStory_main I was told by my brother who is a Habs fan that Janik was already waived and sent to Hamilton, that it was cap cutting measure with Tanguay coming back, plus he isn't playing anyway. Next out the door is Laraque in my opinion. Thanks...and updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Anybody think he's still good enough to come back to the Wings? I haven't watched him enough since he moved on. He was never good enough to be on our team... I would take Sir Dallas out of retirement before that loser came back here... Dandy is gone for a reason.

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 they really want to wait a month into next season before doing anything with pronger? No kidding. The Ducks really ought to deal one or the other before the deadline. The current formula isn't working, and while both are on the downsides of their careers both would be really attractive to teams that think they have a shot this year. Maybe they can get an overexuberant Boston to mortgage their future at the deadline for two months of Niedermayer or a year+ of Pronger and make them next year's Penguins...

Maybe they can get an overexuberant Boston to mortgage their future at the deadline for two months of Niedermayer or a year+ of Pronger and make them next year's Penguins... Talk around here is Kessel again, this happened last year, they threatened to trade him, can't fine a suitor, bench him, bring him back, he is hot for 2 weeks and then goes back to being inconsistent. He is young and has a lot of upside, but he is also a RFA at seasons end along with Krecji and Hunwick. Then they have Fernandez, Thomas, Axelsson and Hnidy as UFAs. I think Kessel is going to need to be shopped. Word around here is they badly want Pronger, the Ducks could easily make them throw in Axelson, Hunwick, Wheeler, or any other prospect (other than Rask) and the Bruins would almost have to take the deal! Hell I bet if they offered the Ducks Kessel and Ference the Ducks would take it! The Bruins while their last two games make it look deceiving have been struggling on offense, sure they put 6 up on the Panthers and Ducks, but lets be honest neither of those teams are superb defensive talents (Spare me I said last season the Ducks D was overrated, and it is more so this year). In my opinion the B's are dumb to go after another D-man, Chara and Wideman are having better years than Pronger already, they need a top tier forward, Lucic is slowing down, Kessel is inconsistent, Bergeroen I am not sure will ever be himself again, Savard is a beast, Ryder is streaky and right now is hot, but streaky. I think they would be better off trying to get an Eric Cole, there is talk around here that they are after Cole or Tkachuk, which in my opinion is a better move for them, well at least the Cole part, Tkachuk will just be back in Stl next year with whatever you gave up to get him!

I do agree with you in part I would never get rid of Kessel he's a game breaker type player. I do believe they stiil could use another defenesman ; but not Pronger those young prospects you mentioned are to valuable. Boston giving up Wheeler would be like us giving up Leino in a deal for a top notch defenseman which I woudn't do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Young roster player, top prospect, 1st round pick) Yea, that doesn't sound right at all. Like you said, Burke is asking for much more for Kaberle. Plus, why trade a player only to turn around and trade back for him? Edited February 28, 2009 by This Is Bida Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a stinging feeling the second we signed Leino that he would develop into a very strong player. He was just too good in Finland last season to not make even a little bit of an impact over here.
