On the Team 990:
"Andre Savard really wanted Darius Kasperitus, and he was very upset he couldn't get him. Savard is not a happy man right now."
I guess we know who target #1 will be in the off-season, eh? Unfortunately, I suspect there will be a huge bidding war...

this is really to bad. I think he would haave been and would be a great pick up. I would love to see Hainsey, Markov and especially Komi use him as role model. Heart desire and willing to sacrifice himself for the team. Good God, Komisaurus as a uber-sized Kasperitus?  Drool.............................. ;D |

You know what, I am kinda of happy he didn't trade for Kaspar...I would have bet 10 $ Markov was used as a bait...I don't want to trade him for rental player. So yes, sign Kaspar during the off-season  |

He when kind of cheap when compared to Poti or Oates. |

Someone at RDS reported it was for 2 'young' NHLers. I could see Ribeiro being one of the two. As much as I'd love to have Kasperitis, however, he's not the 1 'missing ingredient' standing in the way of the Habs and the cup. I can't see the logic in the Habs giving up a couple of prospects for a rent a player. The only argument I can rationalize is to pick him up in hopes of maximizing the team's potential for home playoff dates, which translates to cash that could be spent on players. |

Yup, unless AS was ready to negotiate with Kaspar's agent before making the deal? I agree, I am sure Ribeiro was offered.Craig Patrick wanted Pavel Datsyuk AND a first round pick from the Wings.Wow.Even though the 1st rounder would be in 2003(Wings gave away the 2002 one for Hasek) it's still a 1st rounder and Datsyuk is Ribeiro with speed, better hands and more muscle. |

Am I seeing a pattern with Savard? There always seems to be an explanation that Savard was close to signing..............Hull, Kasparitus, Turgeon, Yashin, Palffy......... If I told my wife that I was close to buying her a diamond bracelet that many times it wouldn't take her this long to catch on. What is the problem??? Money, taxes, team, language laws, endorsements, chemistry, press, alloftheabove?   |

It's called inheriting a terrible team with no young talent...it's tough dealing 2 youngsters when you have barely 5 who have NHL potential in your whole organization...not even on your team! |
