Absolutely. Ryder is also 4 years younger than Cole.
- PLindbergh31

yea...hopefully ryder can mesh with either pleks or dd quickly

He's gonna play where? With DD?
- habby

Not sure.

DD or Chukie ?

Cant remember if he played well with Plek ?

Anyways.. the way the coach is winning every random liine change he makes.. Im not affraid about finding Ryder a decent partner.

not at all. Ahole in room and we got a 3rd as well.
- AGalchenyuk27

Ryder's contract is up at the end of the year, it was a capspace move for next year when the cap goes down.

Ryder can shoot... and he has been playing well... only positives i can think of

(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.
- Fountain-San

I will feed him.

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 !
- WaterBoy

I lean in that direction as well.

Nice to see the habs getting the pick instead of giving it up for no reason. I'm surprised they got one.

Someone who doesn't mind being down a man in the defensive zone would be a start.

yet half as many points this season..

Frank you would think they are 60 games in. Might as well start engraving the Habs names on the cup

So now you ( baaaaaaaaa ) are better than Cole - yeah real book of hockey knowledge going on at your place

and a 3rd which is a first per QP.

Cap space right now too.

Ryder's problem in mtl was that he looked lazy out there.

His shot was never an issue.

I agree with you....

its a rental. don't think too much. these types of trades win games. makes me think of peverley and kelly.

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

I like this ( if it clicks)

Cap space - sign a big name non-ahole in summer.

"Great team guy"- everyone last year
- mr.peanut

"Extra 1st round pick" - everyone now

I lean in that direction as well.

SAme here.

Someone who doesn't mind being down a man in the defensive zone would be a start.

And now I remember why he was traded

Considering Bourque is out for awhile it would seem to make sense. Put Prust back with Galchenyuk.

- AGalchenyuk27

That's not what you said - but true he probably didn't want to play for that fruit box coach.

alright (frank)ers. good trade. really wanted this guy back on our third line.

its a rental. don't think too much. these types of trades win games. makes me think of peverley and kelly.
- Fountain-San

A rental would mean adding him without losing something.

I just don't like seeing assets leave when they are at such a low point.

Cole is a better all around player when he is playing, and should had gotten more then Ryder and a 3rd if he wasn't out of shape in a season that is a wash anyways

DD for Ribeiro and bring back Lazer Pete out of retirement ( Or Germany or wherever the (frank) he plays)???

That's not what you said - but true he probably didn't want to play for that fruit box coach.
- Garnie

it started in the lockout - glad he's gone.

In all honesty. Good deal for the habs. They gain flexibility in the off season. Cole honestly looked complacent and uninterested this year and they gain a natural goal scorer who will be looking to make an impact and show he belongs.

Personally I'm not a fan of Montreal GM's making moves that make sense.... I want the crazy back

What happened to the days of signing a bunch of players that were all under 5'7..... those were the days

DD for Ribeiro and bring back Lazer Pete out of retirement ( Or Germany or wherever the (frank) he plays)???
