  Don Cherry and a dirty plunger for A dead sewer rat and a bowl of fruit loops! CBC and NESN completed a swap today. Previously, NESN felt the asking price for Don was too high but after watching Cherry kiss Kadri on the TV, Julien made a real push to NESN to make this happen. Julien apparently felt his players needed more lovin'

  Easy - you have twelve defensemen there. Do you think 100% all will make it to the show? Probably not. Can you tell 100% which will make it and which won't? Probably not. Ok so let's talk 8-10 more realistically. 6 in the line up 1-2 as your 7th and possibly 8th defenseman then 1-2 in Hamilton - good enough for the show, leading the bulldogs to victory and to a winning culture in Hamilton, ready if we get blasted with more than 2 injuries or to act as posssible trade bait. Defensemen ready for the show are worth more than prospects with no pro experience. Let them mature like wine and they will be worth more to us. same goes for the forwards. whoops - posted in the wrong place - this was aimed at Loonie

  I'd love Prospal but doubt they will move him. He has been great for them. If I'm Pits, I'm thinking 'all the way' - you have to see the trade as two seconds!! If not then its a second to 'not make it'. Still an overpayment.

  Let the Pens start the controversy. Interesting to see what the Habs and Bruins do (if anything). As far as a forward goes - (someone else suggested this) but I'd like to see Kristo signed and brought in. Especially we get Prust and Bourque back for the playoffs. It would be great to get some young blood in and (hopefully) full of adreline and excitment in the line up. We could have a scoring threat on all four lines. This is how montreal should play it, not by having a so-so tough line that doesn't stand up well to Pits or Bos. A fighter is not needed. If Prust and Bourque do not come back, then maybe spending a low pick/prospect on an undamaged veteran checker could be a good idea. On Defense? Tough call. We could use a 4-7D bruiser/crease clearer/shot blocker as insurance for injuries. But the going rate of two seconds for Murray, is kind of brutal. If we swap for a UFA with one of the many D prospect (or maybe even two prospects)+low pick, may be do-able however. So I would propose 1-2 D prospects (like Weber/St-Denis type not Tinordi/Beaulieu type), and 1-2 3rd+ rounders for a gritty forward (maybe) and an aging, but fearless D.

  TSN is just stirring the pot as usual whipping up the TO fanclub into a dreamland frenzy --- almost ZERO chance Loui gets moved. He is only 27 and signed for term at a cap friendly amount. You do need to keep some vets around when rebuilding...

  10GP 3Pts +4....Play 'em! Kaberle is doing well. He is delveloping more trade value with every game. With one month before the trade deadline, I say play him more, play him on the PP2. if Diaz comes back healthy, we might be able get some value for Kabbey.
