If he ends up not going to the Habs, I hope the gloves will be at the next equipment sale

Ran it through a french - english translator.

The rumours sending Marian Hossa in Montreal are done increasingly persistent. According to what Mathias Brunet reports, of the daily newspaper the Press, the Canadian would have ordered parts of equipment to the colors of the team for the attacker of Thrashers of Atlanta. Brunet, which mentions the names of Michael Ryder and Mark Streit like potential currency of exchange for Bob Gainey, specifies however that such an order does not mean that the business would be in the bag. Hossa, which touches 7 M$, piled up 53 points in 58 matches this season.

That might be jumping the gun a bit to quickly

[RadioGaGa 162]

I don't like giving up Streit though...

[chef_ducky 0]

I don;t think Hossa would be a good fit in Montreal..He is a player who plays for himself and the Habs have to much talent(There, I said it) being a rangers fan. He would be perfect on the leafs honestly what I think

streit will become a ufa after this season, chances are he will be looking at other team offers...

[hamstercaster 2]

Ends up that there was indeed gloves delivered for Hossa... Marcel that is as the Rangers were in town over the weekend...

Sorry, in French only..

I know he's UFA...but I really hope they re-sign him.

I heard Edmonton are trying to sign him, not Montreal

Did you have to toss out the oldest cliche in the book for an offensive minded player?

The following is done with the voice of Yoda.....hmm overzealous a little are they not??

[Jim A 4]

this is pretty common around the trade deadline, happens quite a bit as far as getting stuff into production..

It will be Tanguay in montreal.And if Richards is really on the market Habs will go for im 1 st.

I hope he goes to the Sharks, trade Marleau, Cheechoo, or Bernier for him. I think we have the cap space for it.

$10M in cap space is enough for Hossa, Sundin, Jagr, Boyle and Campbell at this point of the season.

I think this would be a good deal and would put the Habs in a real position to become the best in the east.

Marleau for Hossa sounds like a good trade to me......

[NYR4NG3R5 0]

We'll happily trade our Hossa for theirs ^_^

[djinferno 2]

For some reason, I hope MTL gets there hands on Cambell, I'd give up Ryder Grabovski and Streit...

I'm afraid, very afraid. If Montreal gets Hossa, i'd practicly give them the stanley cup. Hockey's evil emipire needs to win atleast one cup every decade. If they don't this year or next year this will be the first decade they don't win a cup. It just seems like this is their year.

I'd love to Montreal vs. Rangers Eastern conf. final. I'm sure the NHL would too.

Bad joke today on the radio.... I was in my car and i hear: "It's confirmed, Marian Hossa is officially in Montreal. I repeat, Marian Hossa is in Montreal." After a long silence he goes: "Yea, he just landed with his team, their playing vs the habs tonight hahaha."

Funny as hell.

It is a good point, and I'd like to see them obviously win one this decade. But I always think to myself, there are 30 teams and it seems like half of them have a shot, and I'd much rather it be this way than it was pre lockout for a while when you knew it'd be the Detroits, Colorados, Dallas, New Jersey, Flyers etc always being there. I hope whatever Montreal does actually helps them..from 01-07 there was a total of maybe 3 trades by the cup winner at the deadline, and they weren't anywhere close to blockbusters.

Hossa would be a great addition and if they can sign him to a longer deal, will they be getting rid of Kovalev after the season? I'm a lifelong Habs fan, but I think they need more defense than offense.

...why would that get rid of kovalev? the whole point of getting hossa would be to have help on offense for kovalev
