JHaul Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Apparently Chelios and Gainey have been in discussion and Montreal has had scouts at a recent Wolf Pack game. http://translate.google.com/translate?u=ht...en&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfourni Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't know how I feel about this. As a patch job this may be our cheapest solution for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry-Robinson Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well this could be a double edge sword for us. I know he is up there in age, but look at it this way, just think of all the help he could be towards any of our young d-men. Only problem with Chelios coming back would be at what price? Send down MAB and give him more time in the minors. Maybe a little later once he gets his balance back and learns to shoot again, he can come back up.

HABFANDOG Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 imo wouldn't be worth the cap hit. Our D simply has to step up and hang in there until everyone is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames4eva Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 How's this for a late-day rumour: CKAC reports Bob Gainey has talked to Chris Chelios. ...later... Chelly isn't interested unless Shanahan is on board too (JK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telly_39_s_1 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 You know, the guy we traded him for retired in 1994. How crazy is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catt-_mtlc Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Seriously Chelios at 47 is better than any d-man we have now with the exception of Markov. He could make an immediate impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeafHater Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 my chelios puppet from i believe 86 (i was like1 so i dunno) agrees lol. haha i don't know what to say about this. i guess short term could be a solution and i'm assuing he wouldn't play everygame. i guess we'll have to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubby31 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Definitely would bring some veteran presence (45) ....could be an asset in the room in that area....I guess....,interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptWelly Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I would rather have Chelios than Obryne any and everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romy22 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Talk about a Father Figure for some of these young players??? He's old enough to be their DAD! But...he can still play...what the hell...at this point it's worth a try. Rushing guys like PK and Carle will only hurt them down the road.

Guest olddude Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't know about this, I think I would have to say no. If he came as some kind of a coach, ok. He wasn't getting as much ice time near the end in Detroit for a reason. We don't need another weakness on D, we need help, but as JM said, it's not just the D, the forwards have to help out as well. Chelios heart may be in the right place, but father time is in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77bourque77 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 no thank-you we do dont need him, just call up belle or weber again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catt-_mtlc Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 no thank-you we do dont need him, just call up belle or weber again. Weber isn't ready for the NHL and I'd rather have Chelios instead of Belle anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77bourque77 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Weber isn't ready for the NHL and I'd rather have Chelios instead of Belle anyday. well thats your opinion. if they are going to limit his ice time, we might aswell have one of our guys in the system fill the spot, let them have some experience. chelly wont do anything for us IMO. way past his prime, he wasnt even playing regularly with the wings...so if he comes here he is going to taking more then his body can handle IMO.

rypat19 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 BY FAR THE STUPIDEST IDEA EVER. Lets add a 50 year old man who can't skate to the slowest d in the league. IF THIS TEAM HAD A REMOTE CHANCE OF THE PLAYOFFS MAYBE. Take your licks, develop the young kids finish dead last I don't care if ST Jose and the ducks can suck forever and then win the cup i say lets suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
