The Official 2011-12 Montreal Canadiens Discussion Thread

I can never totally trust hockey analysts since each one sees things differently. Also from the guy that easily let Martin St. Louis go, only to have him haunt the Flames four years later. Found an interesting mention that Button got his GM influences from Bobby Clarke and Bob Gainey, both who made questionable trades in their last tenures as a GM.

Also, at every level of playoffs, it's very possible for a player to have a good or bad run in the playoffs. It takes at least 2-3 runs in the playoffs before you can truly evaluate anything on a player.

Roy says he hasn't had any communication with the Habs...yet.

I don't read too much into this right now. The team is focused on getting the general manager in place (from what I read earlier today, Julien BriseBois is on the short list) first and the decision about a new coach will come after that. It only makes sense.
