Nice coverage of the deal. Agree with most comments. Let hope SK doesn't miss the flight out, or fails to read the memo...
Be interesting to see how AK reacts over time. Maybe he can find consistency with his worries in another city...
Price needs to be pushed, and Ellis's name was being thrown around regardless of this deal, so they get more time before other teams do to try and tie him up. Like what I a hearing about Boyd and his price tag and size. I think we sign both. PG seems to be steering the ship well, considering he came across to most as a rushed decision without weighing out all the candidates available...
Good on him for being decisive, pro-active and active. Something many of his predecessors lacked...
Go Habs Go!!!
