Carbo comments on CKAC
(Preview)
Carbo was interviewed on a french radio station today, and he had the following comments: 1) improvements to the team will likely come through trades. In addition the Habs are targeting teams they believe will be in cap trouble before the season starts, and that the Habs can target some of the club's g...

Patrice Bergeron
(Preview)
This guy is an RFA. Boston has limited cash to spend. Tony Marinara on the Team 990 floated this idea. Gainey should offer Bergeron a TON of cash..something crazy like 7 million a year. Boston would have to match it. (they cannot cause they have no cash after the recent sigings.) If they do not mat...

Acording to Renaud Lavoie (from RDS) Brendan Shanahan might be interested to come in Montreal Renaud Lavoie (from RDS) said that the Canadiens are in a very good position and might close a deal with Brendan Shanahan. Many teams are interested in Shanahan, and his agent told Lavoie that he would make a...

THE LATEST CANADIENS NEWS

MONTREAL GAZETTE: Pat Hickey reports Canadiens GM Bob Gainey may be having a tough time convincing UFA players to sign with the club. Hickey suggests "High taxes, political uncertainty, the language question and English schools, which are closed to some" work against the Habs attracting free age...

This sums me up
(Preview)
Found this on another board, it's really how I feel:
I think fans here need to realize that you don't just sign a UFA for the sake of signing one! Names being bounced around here are quite comical in signing washed up players like Lindors to retired players like Palffy or players like Rucchin who mak...

Finally found it: A list of Potential 2007 UFA
(Preview)
Here's a preliminary listing of players currently on schedule to become UFAs in 2007. Ofcourse depending on the signings of this year's RFAs the list could change dramatically. Just to give you an idea however.
If anyone has any additions or see's any mistakes, please post them up.

Habtastic
By: The Hoser
Well, day 2 in the NHL's free-agent seasons is drawing to a close, and, save the re-signing of 5'8" firehydrant Franis Boullion, the Montreal Canadiens are yet to make a move. There were rumours a...

Team Salaries
(Preview)
I've decided to post up most of the leagues current rosters and Salary cap space. Just to put it into perspective on what certain teams conditions are in, as well as highlighting what certain players are making as of 06-07. This can put into perspective how the Habs are doing. It w...

Think the avs fans are happy LOL
(Preview)
They are going through what we were when we had these ex-habs
NOT Guerin!! The last thing the Avs need is yet another aging player whose past his prime and can't contribute anymore. (Turgeon, Brisebois, Dowd, Theodore, etc.) Better option, Buy out Brisebois and Turgeon gaining $1.5 mil...

I guess we are going to ride out the farm system for the next few years. Let see how our youngs guns will fair.
Arnott would have been a good addition to the lineup. Take some heat off Koivu. I say we make a bid for Mike Peca - good all around centre with tonnes of heart and emotio...

OMG DAN HINOTE!!!! GAINEY GET OFF YOUR ASS
(Preview)
I can believe it!!!! God damn Dan Hinote signed with the Blues. Comeon Gainey, get off the sleeping pills!! You've done nothing so far! We could have gotten Dan Hinote if you offered just a bit more money! BUT NOT TOO MUCH, CAUSE THEN I'D COMPLAIN THAT YOU OVERPAID LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!
That's it, game...

Great news! I'll be behind the bench at the Bell Centre

No I'm not Carbo's new assistant. And it won't be a Canadiens game.
But the company I work for won a re-match game with Montreal radio station Mix96/CHOM/CJAD. I am the coach of our charity hockey team.
The game will take place in late August or September and it will be open for f...

Can a player reject a trade?
(Preview)
There has been a lot of talk here about trades.I was just wondering if a player can just say no.I only ask because the tax situation that has been talked about regarding free agents holds good for a traded player.Surely anyone traded to Montreal would be facing a real terms pay cut- so can he just so thank...

(Preview)
We have so much talent ready and coming up we don't need to sign any overpaid over the hill players. All you guys are worried if Habs don't sign anybody. Chipchura, Kastitsyn, Murray, LOCKE, Ferland, Pleckanec, Cote, Halak, PRICE, Archer, Milroy and so on. We are like the old Canadiens buildin...

Andre Savard a penguin.
(Preview)
It seems Montreal lost another great individual. Andre Savard has joined the Penguins as an assistant to Michel Therrien. I think he did a good job in turning the Montreal team around with some good draft picks and moves. Right now, I'm not so sure about Bob.

Summer 2005
(Preview)
The free agency market opened up on August 1st due to the lockout the previous year. It took Gainey 3 days before doing anything. I think its because he knew that when the market opens up, people greatly overpay. Look at the last 2 days, thee haven't been many reasonable contracts! I know gainey will do s...

Brian Gionta

With the devils signing big, they might need to move a few players. I seriously would like to have a shot at Gionta. I can hear some of you now 'Another small forward, no thanks!' Well, its not all about size anymore, its about speed and scoring capabilties, which Gionta has, he's a restricted free agent...
