pitbull12 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 From hockeybuzz, "Yesterday rumours were rampant as to a pending press conference that could occur as early as today involving Montreal as they are reportedly about to announce a "big signing." Word is unclear as to whether the pc will take place today, tomorrow or Thursday and as to whether or not we are talking about an extension or a UFA. As I have said previously, don't count out Shanahan in Montreal. I will continue to stay on top of this" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjamessauve Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't take Eklund seriously. If it were Bob McKenzie reporting this on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteenIsThaFuture Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is Eklund spewing out this ***** or was it a credible writer. If anything I'd assume Kovalev or Komisarek were extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Should this warrant its own thread? After all, it is just a rumour from Eklund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Any future Montreal announcement will probably be in regards to the centennial, Patrick Roy's retirement, or Gainey's mid-season news conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franck5890 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 He has updated his blog and now it says from what he hears it is the extension of Mike Komisarek to a four year deal... I'd certainly take it, but I'm not holding my breath right now. Here's hoping he's right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'd certainly take it, but I'm not holding my breath right now. Here's hoping he's right though. That would be good, because if he's signed this early that means it's probably for a reasonable price (4-5 million). If Komisarek was demanding over 5 million, he may get it, but not until closer to July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-1 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 No way Eklund was actually right for once. The canadiens traded Ronald McDonald for The King from Burger King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenIsThaFuture Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 NHLPA executive director Paul Kelly says the competition committee is considering a conference call prior to the NHL All-Star festivities in January in Montreal with the issue of head-checking and hitting from behind tops on the agenda. http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/darren_dreger/?id=256415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franck5890 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 So are Wellwood and Penner, but they're still decent players. Well one barely has a job and the other's in the dog-house!

mac--amp--Cheese Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I wouldn’t be to optimistic while waiting for any “announcement “ from Gainey. I know there are many, including myself that would love to hear of a super-trade that would bring us a much needed top 4 D-man and perhaps another sniper. You might want to rein-in your expectations a little for now. While Gainey might be a little concerned, I sure he will fall back to his comfort zone of wait-and-see, taking comfort in the team stats still in the first quarter, before looking at a trade. # of points after 17 games 08/09 – 22 07/08 – 23 06/07 – 23 Record after 17 games 08/09 – 10-5-2 07/08 – 10-4-3 06/07 – 10-4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
