Arent you guys in line for allen? I hear that we backed out of the deal but who knows, i just thinking this is a much better deal for us. Having Gelinas and Roy as our goalies and then Probably one of the top 6 forwards in the league helps us more than just picking up Allen. But who knows if we got Allen or not all i know is that the price was way too or is too much

Its potentially out there. Mario is not going to be able to improve unless he moves Ellis, and he has made it pretty clear he won't do it. If Saint John called up and offered something similar to that, how do you not pull the trigger?

I guess he'd do what was done one other year and not do much at all - not "improve" since he may not want to move Ellis and not sell if he was instructed not to do that either. Probably won't be much else posted before Christmas -- I hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays!!

The Eagles are working on a fairly big deal with PV and the Montreal Junior. Could see some immediate changes and more at the draft. Mario wantsa to climb back into contention this season.

What veterans would CB be interested in? Allen makes no sense. Wall is a possibility but that's about it. Their other top players are either young up-and -coming guys or they got them from you guys.

What does Montreal have that we would want? On D Wall or Stich (20yo).....Forwards- Asselin isn't going anywheres, the only 19 or 20yo forwards they have that we would want are Gouchie and Chouionard so that ain't going to happen. If Esposito was coming back, but I think he is out for the year???

So after missing out on Deschamps, Bourque, Goulet, Cormier, Caron, Levesque(next year) we are talking to a team that has zero impact players and we can't even acquire 2 of their top 3 scorers because we sent them there. And all this so we can climb back into contention THIS YEAR! Here's praying for a miracle that whatever they decide to do actually works out for the best because this is pretty laughable right now.

Last year's team had much better depth, leadership and effort every night and had a much better chance of doing well with some quality additions and "the price was too much to pay" even though we turned right around a few months later when it was too late and paid a huge price for Luke in June.
I'm not knocking Ward, MacDougall and Horyl but they weren't exactly what we were looking for at the time. Although Ward was an improvement on D, we needed 1 impact forward more than anything if I remember correctly and Mario didn't deliver.
I really don't get it!

It is kinda confusing but bringing in Horyl for Sam Finn was an absolute steal ! Oh Yeah and tthe other Trade with Lewiston .......MacLellan even up for that Ward guy wasn,t too bad either .

hal, I'm not knocking the deal itself. It just wasn't what the team really needed to be a serious contender despite all the talk about going for it.
Then look what we gave up a few months later!

The only way this team goes forward is with 3 huge blockbuster deals and a great deal of luck..............does anyone really think that will happen...........ANYONE with a brain would sell.
