Yeah, could be a good thing though. Gainey built a fairly good team, now a new GM comes in and perfects it. That's always how it goes in Ottawa lol.

yup, i think Pierre is going to do good. but I hope he signs Thomas before the season ends because I don't want to see another good player go away for nothing

I hope so. I wish him luck though, he has some tough decisions ahead to make with the whole Price/Halak situation.

It's such a tough decision. Let's just say that I'm happy I'm not the one who has to make it. I think the organization will keep Price... But if he could land a huge return, considering Halak's solid play... I think management might move him. We'll see.

I'm a price fan, all I'm saying if they trade Price I'm not going to be happy

Halak has been the better goalie this season...But I think Price has more potential...But Price gets in fights with Markov  ... but on the other hand Halak is Czech. It's a tough call lol |

He's from Bratislava, Czechoslovakia Bratislava is in Slovakia now, but when he was born it was Czechoslovakia. That's why I say Czech. When it's politically incorrect...I know. My mistake. |

Well Gauthier said that he doesn't want to trade either goalie before the playoffs, so my guess is that if we were to see one get moved, it would be in the offseason.
