deja vu all over again 3 times by gainey!

gainey in 20 years only once scored 20 goals causing his extreme jealousy

And sure enuff under Gaineys watch for the 2nd time each they are out of there. In Ryders time in Montreal he scored 30 goals 2 years in a row – have no idea when this was last done before or after him but despite being Habs leading scorer against Philly, the dufus Gainey healthy scratched Ryder for the entie losing Philly series. Gainey was a great checker on a team of stars – he does not have a brain either. Bergevin still stuck with Dionta and Kaberle but they wont be long and DUFUS Gaineys damage will soon be over.

PS Hows Ribeiero done? Gaineys acquired good 45 year okds for Dallas

Get Cole’s two more years off the books and Ryder is off at the end of the season. Even if Cole plays better long term its a much smarter move.

The only reason I can think of why the Stars would make this deal is that Ryder (whos contract is up after this year), told the Stars that he would not re-sign with them. On paper, this looks to be a better trade for the Habs. Not sure what Cole gives us. He’s older, not playing very well, and he has a higher salary. The Stars got BAMBOOZLED!

Cole has had an expiration date for a while, but a new change of scenery could benefit him, you never know. As for Ryder, awesome trade for Montreal. Ryder is awesome and I am still wondering why the stars gave him up.

Cole showed up out of shape this year. Actually he said he thought about retiring. The big bonus will be the 4.5 mil cap savings next year, as they will likely let Ryder walk at seasons end and move a young guy up.

Minny must be hoping Cole reverts to last years form. So far he hasn’t.

Trade a player who’s been playing well(Ryder), for one who hasn’t played well with a higher cap hit.
