He's going to be one of the most sought after d-men come July 1st and I'd be surprised to see him go for anything within Gainey's budget.waffledavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759914126228364699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600406388399941785.post-25242040134698118312007-06-30T16:49:00.000-04:002007-06-30T16:49:00.000-04:00I remember reading that Timmons thought getting O'...I remember reading that Timmons thought getting O'Bryne where he did was a steal.

Like you I'd prefer Gomez to Brière, only partly for salary reasons, and Kariya would be great, especially as he has said he would like to come here. So, apparently, has Schneider. As soon as I heard Ottawa was not going to re-sign Preissing, I thought he'd be a good and relatively inexpensive fit here. I agree about Bouillon and you could be right about Dandenault--I criticized him a lot last year but he might look better with a different partner. I totally agree about Mark Streit--one of my favorite players last year, very intelligent, makes few mistakes, and has great speed and scoring ability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600406388399941785.post-75069299509937446892007-06-29T18:23:00.000-04:002007-06-29T18:23:00.000-04:00Waffledave good read cheers.

I disagree with a few things but what I liked most was where you said it is futile to read Gainey and you distinguished between what he will do and what you would do. I am so sick of hearing these absolute statements about his plans, especially when they are emphasized with a PERIOD! or ENOUGH SAID! as if they are privy to the thoughts in his head and we shouldn't even discuss any further. It's fun to speculate and it makes for good reading when you approach it the way you did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600406388399941785.post-68990922607312317722007-06-29T15:58:00.000-04:002007-06-29T15:58:00.000-04:00Nice post Dave.I'd like to believe we could net bo...Nice post Dave.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to believe we could net both Kariya and Gomez, but if you remember last year, we had trouble convincing FA's to come even in August before barring ourselves with Samsonov.<BR/><BR/>I hope, for one, that Gainey will be true to his word and aggressively, go after FA's as if they were raw meat needed to be cooked.<BR/><BR/>As for Bouillon, I totally agree, the guy's a total waste of 2 million and I would rather have O'Byrne or even Mathieu Biron playing instead of him.Bleu, Blanc et Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106339760805230270noreply@blogger.com
