[...] Mayer is the only goalie under contract at the camp. He makes the jump to Hamilton from Cincinnati where he earned co-MVP honours in the ECHL playoffs as the Cyclones won the Kelly Cup. Mayer’s fine play, age, and development potential made Cedrick Desjardins expendable. [...]

Your checklist served you well, Big Brother. Thanks for following the breadcrumbs to the new and improved All Habs site. We moved everything except the ‘Rocket’ nickname. But yes, still the same personality and writing style.

I’m glad that you mentioned La Presse. The articles are remarkably similar. The difference is that La Presse published theirs on August 27th, and mine was 10 days earlier.

I don’t mind that Mathias Brunet reads All Habs. I encourage it. But the least he can do is reference us.

Good comment Big Brother. I agree with your point about strategy and planning. And thanks for the compliments too.

Is that… Rocket? It sure as hell sounds like him. Non care about Franco-phonies playing for Montreal (Desjardin was from new brunswick so he’s not even a Quebecer). Check. Doesn’t like to defend the GM but will do it when he needs to. Check. Great article. Check.

If it’s not Rocket… well congrats. You made me appreciate your article as much as the man who made me fall in love with All Habs. Just don’t tell Rocket I said this.

Great article. Someone at La Presse wrote pretty much the same article, except he didn’t yawn. And he reminded me that Ramo is even a year younger than Desjardin and that the trade wa requested by Cedrick’s agent.

“It’s almost as if Gauthier has a plan. Maybe he does.”

It always amaze me that fans and media just can’t grasp that simple concept. Any GM in this league plan in the long term. When do we expect Louis Leblanc to be NHL ready? How about Subban? You think having Mara signed for only one year was randomly selected? They see a big picture. Not simply the 23 man lineup on nov 15th (or whenever Markov will be back)
