Im standing by my feeling that hes a great leader

Bob Gainey did mention it - but GM's will say pretty much anything when they sign a guy...

I like Downey - don't get me wrong - but I don't think he's a heavy - and I'd rather see pretty much anyone else in Montreal to take care of business...

Could be worse - they could have no one like Detroit...

Maybe there is hope in Edmonton? Finally, a guy in charge who doesn't believe Lennart Petrell is a legitimate roster player.
