CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2008 Stu Barnes retired. He also became an assistant coach for the Stars. Buzz is that Montreal will retire St. Patrick's number in November. Habs reps "do not comment on matters of retired numbers." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Can't help but think Murray was asleep at the wheel here. Meszaros is 22, has proven to be a top 4 defensemen and instead of locking him up, they ship him for the soon to be 32 Kuba, the average Picard and what will likely be a late 1st. I guess Murray's hand was forced, but still...I don't see Ottawa as a playoff team this year. Even though Redden was a zombie last year, he was at least good on the back end sometimes. I figured Meszaros would be taking Redden's spot. Phillips-Volchenkov Smith-Lee Schubert-Kuba Picard? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I thought about this a lot at the bar tonight: Jason Smith will quarterback the Sens PP, but who will bail out Gerber? I'm still iffy on him. I like Auld, but would him breathing down my neck frighten me enough to steal the show, especially in a market like Ottawa? The Sens will be alot like Tampa. By that, I mean that I see a lot of similarity between the two with a stellar offence and so-so d and goaltending. I see both teams sneaking into the 7 or 8 spot come spring.

Joni Pitkanen - 4 million Andrej Meszaros - 4 million John-Michael Liles - 4.2 million Mike Commodore - 3.5 million Ron Hainsey - 4.5 million Mark Streit - 4.1 million Dennis Wideman - 3.875 million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightwing 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 Selanne is back for the Ducks. With Burke over a barrel, I think someone might get a pretty good deal for Schneider. Have the Kings filled up that defensive veteran opening yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brady's Torn ACL Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Robert Lang to the Canadiens for a second-round pick. Sounds like this was just a way to find more time for Dave Bolland and Kris Versteeg. Probably some cap space ramifications too. Screw the salary cap.
