Jose Theodore trade rumors

  • The Canadiens road losing streak starts again after the Canadiens failed to beat the lowly Florida Panthers in Miami. The team that started the season 6-0-1 on the road has 1 road win since November 4th. The same story continues. Injuries, inconsistent play and a overall lack of effort and desire to win. If you add that your star and most potent weapon fails to score on a penalty shot then your chance of winning is virtually nil.

    Trade rumors have been circling all year since the Habs first loss and Theodore’s first bad goal of the season. That’s normal for Montreal but never have the trade rumors been so loud as now. The Canadiens have a scout watching Colorado Avalanche games. Colorado is in need of a better goaltender, Hmmmm. Are the Canadiens just testing the water or is this just a matter of time?

    Recall the Patrick Roy trade to Colorado? The trade the gave them a winning team and 2 stanley cups and gave Montreal the glorious journeyman Martin Rucinsky along with the “Russian Tank” Andrei Kovalenko. Definitely among the worst trades of all time. Whenever you mention Montreal and Colorado your thoughts turn to the deal that ruined the Habs.

    Bob Gainey wouldn’t pull anything that stupid would he? If the right names come up there could be a deal. What names could they be? Should the Canadiens deal Theo, who would be our starter? David Abeischer? Someone’s gotta go in their to sweeten the pot and my guess would be Jose Theodore and Mike Ribeiro going at the same time. On the other end Alex Tanguay would have to be in the mix and the other name popping up is Joe Sakic. Despite Theo’s average play he is still a fairly hot property in the NHL and a lot of teams are in need of a goalie. A straight up deal for Tanguay probably isn’t enough. Joe Sakic however is the type you’d expect to see in a Nordiques/Avalanche uniform his whole career much like Yzerman in Detroit. Sakic is getting on in age though and commands a high salary. Could it happen?

    If the Canadiens don’t do something to stop their slide (and apparently coaching and their current efforts haven’t done anything) then they will almost be forced to make a deal. The clock is ticking.

    This page is for Habs fans, please get out and get some knowledge based on this team! Patrick won 1 cup with Montreal right? MORAN!

    Thanks Habs#1 I know, but Savage on #7 thinks they won 1. I was making fun of him.
    See #49 for my comments to Savage. I know they won 2. GO HABS GO!

    He won the Vezina and Hart trophy in 2001-02. 1 good year!!! Again how many goalies have we seen do this. I see you agree he needs to be traded, but “for the best of the team” Are you not saying that he sucks? He has the worst save percentage in the league.

    Did you notice when Bonk is killing a penalty he is in to deep and is not covering he’s pointman. Send this bum to the minors if nobody wants him. Better yet buy out his contract.

    All kinds of names have been tossed around, but what about Sundstrom. He’s done absolutely nothing since he came… throw him right up there with Bonk’s under achieving ***. But really Theo got to go. Get rid of his *** now while you can still get something for him, damn hippy…cut your hair!!! Get some grit for him a Bertuzzi or a Tkachuk.

  7. #7 stevejur says:
    February 12, 2006 at 5:38 pm

    I agree scotia,
    Bertuzzi would be a nice fit at RW. At the same time get rid of contracts like Sundstrom, Bonk, Theodore & Ribiero.
    Sign a great 2nd line centre like Jokinen, Allison or my favorite Brad Richards and we’re on the way. Montreal still needs a “supersar” defender like a Redden, Jovo, Pronger or Niedermayer to make serious run for the cup. If we can land one of those big fish watch out.

    thefourthperiod.com suggests that Ribiero is being used as trade bait, Gainey wants Jokinen, Bell or Richards.

    ..and who in their right minds who trade Jokkinen, Bell or Richards for MIKE RIBEIRO? Cmon.

    Save it for the Shire frodo!!!If you were personally paying him $5,000,000 To be an integral part of your business..and he performed as poorly as he has for as long as he has!! Well, either you’d get rid of him, or you both better start looking for work..Like it or not Hockey is a business first and a sport second! And as far as business goes..short of theo coming back from the break, winning every game, and taking us to at least the second round of the playoffs…HE’S GOTTA GO!!!

    I wouldn´t mind if the Habs get rid of Theo. He isn´t exactly the kind of man you want between the pipes novadays. I saw some of his games last year here in Sweden and he wasn´t showing much of his NHL skills in Elitserien. If we could get a deal with another club and perhaps get a pair of players that will crack the lineup I would be the first to shout: -YES!

    Get hom out of Bell Centre now!

    Marcuskoivu is the funniest person in this blog….BONK IS A PIECE OF ****. When he is on the ice, its like the canadiens are a man short. If the canadiens trade him, they dont even have to get a pack of gum…just get rid of the guy.

    And as far as Theodore oges, even if they did trade him who would take him? A team like St.Louis? First of all everybody know they are NOT gonna make the playoffs and second of all, WHO WOULD THEY GET? If the team sucks, its because of all the players. Mabye they would trade him to ottawa…ya right! Who would ottawa get rid of? Heatly, Redden of HASEK??? PLZ, come on…

  19. #19 Frodo says:

    they are trying to trade his ***

    I just can’t wait for Olympic hockey to be over so that I can see Bonk play again. I know MarcusKoivu feels the same way. Poetry on ice, dude. Pure magic.

    Jose Theodore has been one of the top goalies in the NHL for the last 5 years. Montreal learned from that horrible Patrick Roy trade, not to trade your superstar goalie I hope! I am sure that Theodore will get back to his old form once his broken ankle heals, he just needs some of his old confidence back, and stupid Hab fans that constantly insult him and that want him traded are not helping that for sure! Go cheer for the Leafs if you hate Theodore!

  24. #24 Jose Theodore's fan says:
    February 24, 2006 at 2:30 pm

    trade bonk and zednik keep theo

  25. #25 Manitoban says:
    February 24, 2006 at 10:00 pm

    I’d be all for keeping Theo, but how do you “bounce back” when you get booed at your own arena?
    I think that Habs “fans” have made a comeback an impossibility.

  26. #26 theodorefan4life says:
    February 27, 2006 at 6:40 pm

    TravisF and Jose Theodore`s fan are brilliant! Theodore Rocks!! People who hate theodore should MOVE to toronto!!

    I think we should be asking if you guys are Toronto fans? Have you not watched any of the games this year. We may not make the playoffs this year because they played Theodore so much. Have you seen how fantastic Huet has played.One of the top goalies the for the past 5 years…start watching the games!!! Get your heads out of your asses!!!

  28. #28 stevejur says:
    March 3, 2006 at 1:37 am

    Let’s not be like Leaf Fans and START supporting whoever is winning.
    Huet is the main man. That stop in front of the net tonight against Florida was awesome.
    This is his team now and his job to lose. Theodore has been playing like **** for the past 2 seasons.
    We were all over him in 2004 did we forget? His crappy play has continued this year. Fact is Fact.
    Huet reminds me of the 2002 Theodore, catching on fire late and going on to win Hart and Vezina.
    He very well might take this damn team to the finals if he keeps this up. I have no problem with that!

    GO HABS GO!

    March 5, 2006 at 6:21 pm

    Bonk is the best all-around player in the league, hahaha you know im kidding. I think they should trade theo for luongo.

    Big game against the leafs tonight chnace to increase the gap. Alright game in Philly last night managed to walk away with a point and were down by 2 late in the third. Back to business, how would Gonchar look in a Habs uniform. Imagine Markov and Gonchar holding down the blueline. Apparently Pittsburgh’s willing to get rid of him. Theodore, Dandenault, for Fleury, Gonchar. While they’re at it the trade deadline is coming up in 2 days. Maybe we could make a blockbuster trade……………Bonk for a 14th rounder and the trainer from San Jose, no we’d never get that. OK Bonk for the trainer.

    He’s gone, He’s finally gone We didn’t get much for him but saved a lot of money Just hope Theo doesn’t have a touch of Roy in him a goes and wins the cup. Now all we have to do is get rid of Bonk.

  35. #35 Habs Blog says:
    March 8, 2006 at 11:12 pm

    Yeah. Jose Theodore Trade is complete.

    Will it be good or bad? Only time will tell.

    now we have money for a forward with size (other than ribeiro, koivu, and the other midgets). i say go for tzachuk and i dont mean daniel. bertuzzi could be aiight. unfortunately the asking price is probably way too high for those inconsistent players

  • Margahayuland : hi all... sorry add this «link»
  • Senet1 : I want the Bruins to win anyway so that we pick ahead of them in the Draft.
  • Senet1 : Muller you got your wish NYR won game 4. So the Bruins will have to play another game at least.
  • Senet1 : He may just bring all three of the kids up.
  • muller93 : MB is forced to go out and get a big D-man. Missing Emelin for almost half the season is the last thing we needed to hear. Now going out and getting a big D-man is a MUST!!!
  • muller93 : Now for the Fu**en Bruins who have no business even being in the second round are going to get a nice rest. Yes the same goons who took out one of best D-man for 6 more months. There is NO Fu**en justice. Just venting--Ok i feel better now.
  • muller93 : So pissed to see the Rangers lay down and play like total crap. How did the Rangers beat the Caps? This team is playing with no heart--a must win and can only muster 23 shots...PATHETIC !!!
  • muller93 : Senet I did see Galchenyuks goal--Made a great move for the game winner. You can see the kid has so much confidence.
  • goalie : If Rangers get swept I wonder if Tortorella will get his walking papers? Or Glen Sather? They have tons of 'talent' but zero wins in this series.
  • goalie : It's really too bad we lost to the Sens as we would have played the Rangers and the way NYR are playing we would have beat them too. If only. If only!
  • Senet1 : Actually I agree it was a good move for them to play a shorter season and get the experience. He could not have played in the minors this year he would have had to play junior or the NHL. However, he now has a year under him and knows what to expect next year and hopefully take a bigger responsibility on the team. Did you see those two goals in the bronze game? Wow.
  • muller93 : Good move by the Habs not having Galchenyuk play in the minors. Now Galchenyuk has 1 year in the NHL and playoff experience this is going to pay off big time come next year.
  • Senet1 : Galchenyuk scores to back to back goals in shoot out to help USA win Bronze metal. I did not see the second goal but the first was a beauty.
  • Senet1 : So we could pick anywhere from 25th to 23rd depending on who wins these quarter final series.
  • Senet1 : First, is the 14 teams in the lottery. Then there are 12 teams that did not make the semi finals in the order of the seasonal finish, Then there are the four teams in the semi final the first two eliminated pick in the order of the regular season points total and the last two based on who wins and who loses the cup. So as it stand now if say Detroit beats Chicago then Detroit moves up to pick after us. Boston or NYR will move up and pick after us. LA or San Jose will move up and pick after us
  • Senet1 : Basically, I was wrong about the draft pick situation. There are three groups of drafting teams within the 30 teams.
  • Senet1 : seriously ready to challenge for the cup. He will us win games but he will not be the difference between winning the cup and not winning the cup. You pick up players like that once you have the team ready to challenge,.
  • Senet1 : I am looking at the players to draft and there are a lot of big 6'3-6'5 forwards available ion the draft this year. If we could draft 3-4 big young players in the 2nd and 3rd round why would you want to give that up for a roster player who may have 2-3 years at best. If we are going to build a winner to have to build it with bigger players and there are a lot of good big players available this year. So you sign Ott and he is with us for the short run, but probably not when we are seriously re
  • Senet1 : Boullion is a great mentor for the young D-men
  • muller93 : Boullion is one of MBs great additions--Boull ion is a definite Keeper.
  • muller93 : Getting rid of Kaberle frees up a lot of cash. Boullion is small but is reliable and doesn't back down from anyone.
  • muller93 : Exactly Goalie any thoughts on a punishing D-man?
  • goalie : They;re showing determination adn skill vs Ducks and Blackhawks.
  • goalie : REd Wings could turn out to be the surprise team of this year's playoffs!
  • goalie : WE need to rid our team of Kaberle and Webber. Step two would be to then move Diaz. If we get that big d-man I believe that would push Boullion to # 7 on the chart. We'd then go with Georges, PK,Markov (to continue mentoring Ememlin) Tinordi as our starting six . THEN I'd be excited about our chances. We could then work on getting bigger forwards.
  • goalie : I too would gladly give up a 3rd round pick for Ott- the type of player we sadly lack. AND if we could get one more rugged, expeienced defenceman it would help immensely.
  • muller93 : Senet what you are saying makes sense but if we can get Ott for a 3rd round I'll take that all day.
  • muller93 : MB should be looking at a big D-man first, even though I like our blue line with the addition of Tinordi. We need that insurance just in case one gets injured. Also I'm a firm believer in starting with the goalie first then-defense-for wards-and we already have good goalie. We have all noticed when we have the lead Price is tough to beat.
  • Senet1 : So sometimes you have to sacrifice for one year or two to build that team in the draft. then add the finishing touches through FA and trades.
  • Senet1 : Muller, Detroit is another good example. They have been in the hunt every year with good well balanced teams yet only one or two cups to show for it. However, they have built a team that has a chance every years for the last 10+ years. That is what I think we have a chance to do this year with a good draft. It reminds me of the habs teams of the mid 80 and 90's we built a team then with sold draft picks and won the cup twice during that time period. So sometimes you have to sacrifice a one
  • muller93 : Very true Senet, you do need luck and we haven't had any luck it seems since the habs moved to the Bell Center. We had an incredible run in 2010 with some crazy goal tending from Halak. With Galchenyuk-Tinor di-Gallagher all in 1 year--not too bad, even with an early exit in the playoffs.
  • Senet1 : Muller I guess we all have our own ideas, but there has never been too many times that were successful when they traded their draft picks away. We have a chance to build this team so we have a shot at winning the cup over the next 10 years. Even as good as Pittsburgh has been they have only won the cup once since Crosby and Malkin have been with the team. That is because you not only need great players but you need luck to win, but one thing about Pittsburgh they have a chance every year. The
  • muller93 : Good point on Torres, he might be a liability. Torres has to tone it down a bit, but that's his game-very aggressive.
  • goalie : Though I don't condone what Raffi Torres did - thos shows you how repeat offenders or near offenders are going to be treated. His hit was NOT illegal BUT what the rap sheet adn reputation Torres has he got severly punished. Lesson to be learned by OTHER players because Torres dopesn't learn fromk his mistakes.
  • muller93 : Senet normally I would agree with you on not trading draft picks but we are not in a rebuilding stage. Sometimes draft picks can be a roll of the dice and it can take up to 3 years to be NHL ready. We have a good team and I agree with Stuo players like Clowe-Torres-Ott -Scott will make a big difference. Somebody has to protect Gallagher, he can't keep getting hit the way does--we need a tough forward so they think twice before going after Gallagher.
