Norman Flinn was on RDS a few minutes ago....for some reason he reminds me of Liam Maguire....anyway, he suggested that the Habs should have offered Komisarek along with Hackett to get McLaren.
So simple question...do you agree with him? Should the Habs have traded Komisarek to get McLaren, or did AS make the right move?

If Savard did that, I'd find him...

That says a lot about the knowledge of those who are supposed to teach the people about their habs. I really don't like this new trend that's going on. AS getting bashed over and over again for right moves ... can't get it. I can't stand the media anymore ... they're so shortsighted it's unbelievable what a bunch of stupid idiots. I heard Flynn though ... it's as stupid as they get. And this guy wants a job as head coach ...

Komisarek would have been picked by the Panthers 5th overall if Weiss was already gone in 2001. He is that good and that highly rated. If AS would have dealt a 20 year old talent like that for a 25 year old, injury prone, hold out prone, lacking mobility, try to kil our best player d-man...What we are seeing tonight on these boards would be 10 times worse... Hainsey, MAYBE I would have dealt for McLaren. Maybe. Because we already have Markov on that left side But Komi? no way...do we want Brisebois and Rivet as our number 1 d-men on the right side for the next decade?

Would you(Normand Flynn) do a McClaren for Komisarek+hackett deal ?
Normand Flynn : Yes I would ! I don't understand why habs management didn't do it. They could have gotten a player that could help them right now !
Wow Normand ... How come you aren't a GM in the NHL ?
They didn't do it cuz we're not contending for the cup right now. We're looking toward the future. This team is composed of a bunch of rejects. They were all put together to give a show for the people. What I hate about the rds media is that they never think about future... it's as if we should win the cup every year or be leading the conference every seasons ... C'mon guys don't you remember 4 years ago how bad this team was ... with no prospect and no light in sight. Hell I would have never thought we could be this good in so short a time. Please RDS ... stop misinformating our people c'mon ... You're supposed to be " La référence en matière de sport "

As i said earlier in the Hackett Traded tread,
Savard said on telephonic interview that he and his staff felt Komisarek and Hainsey were gonna be better than Jillson or McLaren.

i agree, no way i make this trade. i'm happy with our return for hack, lets just hope the bruins don't have what it takes to go far with his help. they choked last year with a team that most would say is better than this years even with hackett...

I was just listening to the 990 show with Gabriel Morency, who was ranting about how if you absolutely send Komisarek and Hackett to Boston to get Mclaren. At the same time, he seems pissed that Boston ended up with Hackett. This is the way I see it. Hackett may help Boston in the playoffs (they'd get there anyway, imo) and Mclaren would've helped us get there (we might make it anyway), but the one thing I couldn't handle is seeing Komisarek in the black and gold smearing the CH all over the boards for the next twelve years. Three years from now Mclaren will be a solid number 4 or 5, but Komisarek is more likely than not to be an animal and 25 minute guy. You have 2 guys like that (like St. Louis did) and you're sound on the ice all game long....

Who is this McL guy? What has he ever done except be a high draft choice? Komi and Hainsey have already matched him there. Difference is that they have huge potential and with komi's size he can't miss being a good dman but might just be a great one.
The Bs aren't going anywhere this year. they have a weaker team than last ( Guerin ). they can have Hack for a few months but i'm not going to give them a great prospect to burn us for years for some big slow injury prone dman who does alot of talking but not much walking.

I think it's pretty much unanimous I don't think anyone would've given up Komi for an injury prone 3 or 4 d-man that might of had a little problem coming into our dressing room anyway.

The more I hear Morency speak the more I dislike him. He is a know-little Jim Rome wannabe. I like the team 990 on the whole, but Morency is a TOOL. He should've never replaced Tony Maranero on the Habs post game show.

Not a chance in HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Komi is raw and he is polishing the game at the higher level. Without any doubt in my miind, Komi will be a top 2 by the time he hits 25. ON ANY TEAM.
I have said it before and I will say it again. many, MANY so called experts do not know the game if it struck them in the head. They are no better then Leaf fans.
Now if anyone compared me to a Leaf fan for knowledge, I would have to kill them SLOWLY (nothing personal).

He should've never replaced Tony Maranero on the Habs post game show. damn straight. I hate him as well. All he ever does is bash the Habs about how they only care about saving $$(yo gab..48 million$ payroll) and filling the Bell center and bla bla bla...shut up..and that voice... Like JV said...seeing Komi PLASTERING Habs forwards in the black and gold for the next 12 years(or until his first holdout..hehehe cheappos in Boston) would have made me sick. Brisebois would still be our number 1 d-man from right side

Difference is that they have huge potential and with komi's size he can't miss being a good dman but might just be a great one. and Hainsey/Komi have more mobility AND offence than McLaren.
