The pieces are falling into place, just like most Florida Panther fans had expected. Keith Ballard, recently traded to the Florida Panthers in a very controversial trade on GM Jacques Martin’s part, for Olli Jokinen. The dollar amount for the contract is uncertain at the moment, but it has indeed gone down.
Well, the long anticipated trade, has been finally completed. Not a trade that is very controversial, only Toronto Maple Leaf fans arguing over if the fourth round pick was legit or not. So in that case, I guess it was pretty good wasn’t it? It seems that way. How do you judge this trade? I think it’s pretty much trading a liability for a liability, an injury burdened Mike Van Ryn for an under-performing Bryan McCabe. So either way, both teams have question marks with their respective returns.
Most would think that this title is far and away from being true. Honestly, I think it’s quite legit.
With the draft only being 10 days away, here are some more Montreal Canadiens rumours, updates and minor news.
Some of the hardest times are upon the Florida Panthers right now, with head coach and general manager, Jacques Martin feeling the pressure. Most fans of the Panthers are very upset with how the team has been playing lately and I’m more than certain Jacques Martin and the players know this. They have been booed off the ice most nights. What is with this uninspired, lazy hockey? Why are they giving up third period leads and then in the final minutes just then trying to win it back? I’m more than certain this is a coaching problem. It just doesn’t seem like Jacques Martin has control of his own team.
