First order of business - sell low, but sell high too. Halak and Price for a real, top 10 goaltender. Let's go.

PS. Boy, I'm sad today. I loved the way Gainey was okay with remaining stagnant and relatively mediocre - to poor. I was hoping he'd get a lifetime extension.

His coaching style is bored and tired, his GMing style is non-existent. So, yes, he'd be perfect to do both in Montreal.

Jacques can do neither, as far as I'm concerned. The recent trend (successful, by the way) is to hire coaches with little or no NHL experience. Gainey went the other way, proving yet again that he was too old for the new NHL.

To be fair, martin's still got his hockey team hanging in there with the countless injuries and the ineptitude of Gainey pushing Price to the forefront and signing garbage players (Laraque, Gill, smurfs).

In Martin's defence, if he had an extra 7-8 million like most GM's, he could have added more talent to the Florida roster.

It's the Halak show now. Assuming no more injuries, I like their chances of squeaking into the top 8.

Or he would have asked his scouts to find him the next Jody Hull and/or Shaun Van Allen.

Yep, Martin didn;t have any budget in Florida.

Gainey said in September he would step down at the end of the year if the team failed to make the playoffs.
Guy BOucher is ready, I think he gets the job now or in october. As coach I mean.

Wasn't he nicknamed The Ghost here, because he was never around to talk to media? Good luck with that in Montreal.

Just as well. Only lies come out of his mouth when he opens it anyway.

He can probably still play. So that would rule him out. Gainey stepping down? - Page 2 489887

Cue Patrick Roy to GM Canadiens rumours.

But in all seriousness, this move was long overdue.

For that franchise to succeed, the fans and media should step down, not the management.
