Feels like forever since we've had a SG of this nature. Can't wait to see him play.

How would the border stop that?

Nothing more dangerous than a car full of 20-25 year old white dudes going to a concert.

I kinda wish Proky would have worked his magic and gotten some of the Nets together in Russia to build some chemistry on the year off.

He better come back!

It's not broken. It's just helping small market teams stay alive. It's not the best way but I'd rather have lots of stars on different teams than Miami Heating the NHL.

Cammalleri - Plekanec - Cole Pacioretty - Gomez - Gionta Desharnais - Eller - Kostitsyn Moen - XXXX - White Darche Markov - Gorges Gill - Subban Yemelin - Spacek Weber Price Budaj

Not to get into the arguement but the only reason I became a basketball fan was because of the NHL lockout. Could be what they need to gain some popularity.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

At 4.5 per, he's only the seventh highest paid Canadien which is excellent for a 6'2 body that fits perfectly into the speed system....it's the four years I'm worried about.

Ryan Potulny signed a deal I have never heard of before. First year is 2-way while the second year is 1-way.

PG didn't even put in an offer for Wiz.. I can't wait for the next change over.

Brian Gionta doing work getting Erik Cole to come play in Montreal. Slight overpayment that can come back and bite us in the ass but the dude has like 18 points in 13 games or something in the Bell Centre. PG made possibly the worst deal of the day paying more for Budaj than just keeping Alex Auld. Aside from Ned Flanders, there is nothing good about him. I would guess who we might go after next but I'm sure they'll do something stupid.

What a day of complete and utter shitty deals. Colorado is really going to risk a potentially top five pick and a second rounder for a goalie...a Russian one at that. Buffalo is cleaning up. I really don't understand what Philly is doing but could work. Florida is just spending cash by the looks of it and Brad Richards is still a FA. Can't wait to see some big trades.

Well yesterday took care of most of the major free agents. Gonna be another long day for TSN.

Maybe the greatest news of the summer.....no more Pierre McGuire! ...Sorry Americans.

Tom Pyatt will not be back with the Canadiens. Kinda surprised as he was one heck of a PKer and only 24. Would have prefered him to Darche but we will see.

Would be nice to grab him if we didn't overpay. I highly doubt Kris will take a discount so we are gonna have to pick one.

It's gonna cost a lot of firsts to get Stammer out of Tamba Bay.

Oilers also get Smith without Brule.

Kirky looks to be heading to the Milwaukee Admirals to be the head coach. Might be great news for Chet Pickard, who was Carey's backup in Junior and plays a lot like him...until last year. Also, he gets another exciting player in Ryan Ellis who is PK lite and a bunch of great young talent Nashville has drafted.

I figured I knew a lot of players in the draft this year but Montreal managed to pick all guys I've never heard of. Beaulieu was a great steal. A winner who will get a chance to play for Canada this fall. Another great pick up IMO is Magnus Nygren. An overager who is one heck of a offensive defensemen and will be ready to come over A LOT sooner than the rest. The theme was defense. Five of our picks went towards the blue line and on top of that have put Emlin, Diaz and Joe into the Hamilton/Montreal system. What does this mean? Next years draft will be all forwards which makes sense as this draft was low in high potential forwards aside from the first round. It also looks like Benoit Pouliot will be let go. Another guy who will get nothing in return and most likely make himself into a decent 3rd line winger.

Looking to move Wiz rights for a second. Would be a heck of a steal.

An underrated factor with drafting Nathan allows the Canadiens to have more peices to move in trades. Mac Bennet and a few other defensive prospects now become easier to let go with Jared and Nathan the peices for the future with Subban.

Which American will Burke pick...
