Selon Tricolore/CHFans, les Molson ont Lecavalier en tête de liste de leurs priorités. Les nouveaux propriétaires voudraient mettre la main sur le joueur étoile le plus rapidement possible.
Deux conférences téléphoniques auraient eu lieu avec Tampa et les 2 équipes seraient prêts à préparer cette transaction d'ici peu.
Tampa désirerait Andrei et Sergei, Lapierre et Mara pour Lecavalier, Wlaker et Foster.
Montréal offrirait Andrei et Sergei, D'Agostini et Mara pour Lecavalier et Walker.
Avec la situation actuelle de la défensive du CH, une transaction est presqu'inévitable. Avec le retour plus rapide que prévu de Markov, les Canadiens ont maintenant sous contrat un nombre impressionnant de défenseurs: Spacek, Gorges, Hamrlik, Gill, Mara, Bergeron, O'Byrne.

traslate that tampa wants andrei & seirgei with lapierre and mara for lecavalier, walker and foster.
montreal is offering A and S K with d'agostini and mara for lecavalier and walker.

now if this rumour is true(no smoke without a fire, and with the habs having a lot of love for vinny) it sounds like it's just a few pieces they are arguing about. if it's true.
i don't doubt that gainey dosen't fall asleep without thinking of vinny(and his job it would save) but i wonder what they would do with 3 centers in gomez, vinny and pleckanek..? if i'm the habs i try and sign pleckanek now and if he doesn't move him while his value is high. could get quite a nice return for him, being the best habs at the moment... but i aint bob.

Doesn't Vinny have a NMC?

And what a stupendously good deal for Montreal. Vinny, Walker and Kurtis Foster for the Kos. Bros., Mara and LaPierre? Done!!!?!?!??!?!

You think MTL fans and reporters overvalue their players a little bit? I'd never thought so before, but I'm starting to get that feeling

Naaah, it's probably Halak and a 2nd.

I don't believe that for a second. Montreal gets ripped. Mara is pretty much untouchable in any deal that doesn't involve Malkin, Crosby or Ovechkin.

Tampa is NUTS if they think they can get THAT from MTL for that package.

Tampa is nuts? Vinny, Foster, Walker for the Kost. Bros., Mara, Lapierre? I would do that if I was Montreal immediately. Not if I was TB though.

You had a nice trend of posts there

i agree that MTL overvalues their players but they want to keep lapierre at all costs... its a frenchy thing. i'm no habs fan but i hope they get vinny. then the soap opera beggins. and seriously vinny isn't performing this year anyway, you'd think with the olympics coming, must be playing with an injury.

Lecavalier belongs in Montreal. Period. Gainey should do whatever it takes.

the only thing they should do is remove gainey--his philosophy is a joke

lecavilier going to montreal is a bigger job--montreal has nobody that they can give them unless markov is included with about 2 other plaers and dragt picks--with our salary cap now Mr. Genious pays 7mil to gomes for 2 goals

Spezza plays with the Sens not the Habs
