Dangerous thought: if Iginla goes to MTL...I'll hurt something.

lol not for Cammi

lol not for Cammi

I mean, all we know at this point is that Cammi is involved and going to Calgary...could be much more. I doubt it, but you never know. And if it's JBouw...oh how I will laugh. Or Matt Stajan.

Friend on twitter is saying Rene Bourque is part of the deal for MTL. Well...

yeah I guess it could be bigger for prospects. Jokien

that popped in my head as well. I could see him head that way for sure. almost 1 for 1 with a draft pick

 

[pixburgher66]

So, Cammelari makes 6 million. What does Bourque make? Because the Flames are less than 100K from the cap. And reports are saying it's just Cammelari for Bourque and a pick.

 

[Comeds]

Yeah - trade the player who is pissed off at the way they are losing. Keep they players who are fine with losing.

 

[pixburgher66]

Okay, so Bourque makes 4 million. There's about 1.5 million in limbo here. Just saying.

Cammalleri, 5th rounder, and the rights to a European goalie prospect for Rene Bourque, 2nd rounder in 2013, and prospect Patrick Holland.

I feel like I'm stupidly missing something with the money here.

When Randy Cunneyworth found out that Cammalleri was no longer on the bench, he apparently said, "I guess Mike was interim, too."

 

[pixburgher66]

Gauthier is an idiot. Saying they moved him because of his size and style. Seriously? How is this suddenly an issue?

 

[Comeds]

I read Bourque makes 3.3 million. So thats quite a bit of savings. How amazing is it this happened today? Its probably a big coincidence, this has probably been in the works long before Mike made his comments.

More Gauthier: "We need to score the hard goals...not the fancy goals...Bourque scores most of his goals from the hard areas."

Sorry, this just seems like a horrible excuse right now. Sorry Mike, you were too fancy for us. Instead we got this Bourque fellow, because he knows how to crash the net...no one else does that.

You're correct with that. I know capgeek had CALG space as second least in the league, and it was probably just over 100K. So...still waiting on that solution there.

 

[pixburgher66]

Also, Bourque doesn't speak French. DUN DUN DUNNNN.

 

[Comeds]

In related news after this trade tonight 8 other Canadiens were lined up to complain about losing.

Honestly I do not think that matter so much now. That is one big difference between the Habs fans when I first started following them and now. Sure, there are still some fans and news stories about the fans wanting a Francophone player but its so much less than it used to be.

I guess now its just coaches.
