Racist comments aside (and the fact that this is just a rumour) Tanguay would make a great addition.  You say he is a soft play maker, he already has 19 goals this year and is a plus 7.  In the last two years that we had NHL hockey, he had 51 goals, 146 points and was plus 30 in 03-04 and plus 34 in 02-03.  He's only 26 and will probably get better with time in the league.  Personally, the only downside to him that I can see is that his contract runs out this year (1 year deal), so the Habs would run the risk of not getting him back next year.

Actually "Francophone" not a race. If you are going to accuse me of using "racist comments" at least use the right terminology. Ethnocentric may have been better. 

That aside, I am just saying that they have this policy carrying Francophone's just to appease the Francophone fans. Tanguay is a hell of an offensive player, but he's not going into the corner's and he's not going to lay guys out or striking fear into the hearts of defenseman.  All I am saying is he isn't the piece of the puzzle that we need...another undersized floater with great good hands.

This is one policy that is making it hard for Montreal to compete. They should forget what the "fans" require and build a winning team with the best players available, regardless of their mother toungue. Forget a bilingual coach, GM and all that, the media can translate for themselves. Real fans don't care if their captain is a Quebecer or a Finn as long as he has passion and plays the game to his max every game.

I'm confused... also, Tanguay's an awesome player, but without a tough surroundings, he's not going to have a chance to shine Note that it was ediited by Figaro, not me.   The words deleted, however, were barry's, not mine.  A reference to a "three-way" - let your mind wander.............
