One thing i did like before he left town was that he could hit.... not talking about crushing hits.. but he always had some hits next to his name.

Great shot..
Lazy ( Therrien should take care of that)
Knows the town.
Younger than cole.
He's a Newph... you always need one of those around.

You forgot captain material.

"(frank)ing love Cole"

Every Hab fan until season started, now let's hear the hate.

cap space move? seems retarded

Also...per hockeybuzz's Tim Panaccio, the Flyers have acquired Simon Gagne from the LA Kings for a conditional 4th round pick.


That's something I hadn't noticed tho.

Welcome to 3 hours ago.

perfect.

and i agree about his more physical play.
- Fountain-San

Right handed shot.

Something the Habs greatly need.

contract year.....he will work his ass off.
- Symba007

you bet he will.

Great trade for Montreal. I hope Ryder buries the Bruins in the playoffs with a big goal.

The haircuts were so ridiculous back then.

not at all. Ahole in room and we got a 3rd as well.

How the hell did MB get a 3rd as well...

- PLindbergh31

you should. i know you have your own history with this player. and who knows if being back in montreal will get to him but i'd take him back in a second.
- Fountain-San

I think he's changed as a player, learned a lot in Boston. I'm not sure he's better than Cole was last year. More importantly, I think Ryder is a fairly tough player, but he's slightly smaller and not as physical as Cole.

not only that the fact that we can walk away next year if we need to is great. dallas gets fleeced in this imo.

"Great team guy"- everyone last year

Ryder plays a bit more physical...


(frank).. Am I cheering for Ryder...
- WaterBoy

Ryder plays more Physical then Cole?

Do they have a toxic air warning in buffalo today?

Right handed shot.

Something the Habs greatly need.
- WaterBoy

He's gonna play where? With DD?

How the hell did MB get a 3rd as well...
- AdamFrench

He drafted 5 times in the 1st round with only one 1st round pick last year, the guy is a magician

not only that the fact that we can walk away next year if we need to is great. dallas gets fleeced in this imo.
- habsrock71

Lots of forward talent on the Bulldogs.

Ryder = Canadian Cole = American (∴) Ryder > Cole


The math speaks for itself

not only that the fact that we can walk away next year if we need to is great. dallas gets fleeced in this imo.
- habsrock71

Absolutely. Ryder is also 4 years younger than Cole.

Right handed shot.

Something the Habs greatly need.

(frank)ing guy gets a puck on net faster than almost anyone.

reminds me of glenn murray. does not make players around him better. he just wants to shoot.

but you get guys around him who can dig and feed him tee ups? goal.

Cole's best season.

Im not sure Cole can be better than Cole last year.

The way Cole was playing... out of shape.. slow and disgruntal... decent trade...

Thanks for the 3rd !

not only that the fact that we can walk away next year if we need to is great. dallas gets fleeced in this imo.
- habsrock71

totally, from a dallas perspective this trade makes zero sense. ryder must have been shagging nieuwendyk's wife or something

They should play him with Plek and Gionta. Put Bourque with DD and Pax if the other line works.
