Uh Oh....Should The Habs Have Made A Move?

Pierre, You may have made Habs Nation pretty mad....

He's been busy in recent weeks reaching out to fill holes on defence because of season-ending knee surgery to Andrei Markov and Josh Gorges. Now it's reached the point where Paul Mara was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 4-3 win over Carolina after only two games. He was quiet on Deadline day. The only move he did was trade Defenceman Brett Fersterling to Atlanta for Depth goalie Drew MacIntyre. Some people said Montreal has enough goalies. Being a Huge Goalie Freak, I agree. Signing Alex Auld was a huge mistake, as Curtis Sanford belongs in the NHL.

Montreal needs a forward. Jason Arnott, JP Dumont, Dustin Penner and Stephen Weiss all seemed close to becoming Habs.

But what happened?

Only GM Pierre Gauthier knows for sure. Is he confident of the Canadiens, because most fans are not. They have struggled since the All-Star Break. They lost 4-0 in the Heritage Classic to Calgary.... They just can't seem to win. Price is not the problem. The forwards are. And of course the amount of Defence injuries does not help.

They need size and skill. Arnott brings that..... But the Caps got him... The 6ft 5 Canadian would have helped alot. The Habs..... Not Sure what they were thinking not getting someone.

I know it may be too early to figure out if being silent was a good idea or not, but come playoff time, it may be too late..........
