Aside from the occasional big hit Cole has been brutal this year, and will continue to stink with that contract.

Dallas's PP has been slightly worse than Mtl's this year and Ryder has 2 PP points.

Last year Dallas had the worst PP in the league. Ryder led them with 7 PP points.

Montreal's pp is better and is missing a right handed shot on the left boards.

You don't think Ryder and his right handed shot was what our PP was missing?

How much has it helped Dallas?

Does anyone think that Gionta could get an impending UFA like Clowe?

And he's playing golf too?

That (frank)ing guy annoys me even when he's not around

Hopefully he sucks on a poop load of golf tees, and gets sick from the brown water they use to water the course.

Montreal's pp is currently 10th despite very little threat from the half boards from the right side and none from the left. Adding Ryder and his shot to the left can only help. If it doesn't we still win the trade for getting rid of Cole.

Ryder might end up being better than Cole. I love the salary dump and the pick. I'm happy they got a guy who's a minimal risk and comparable to Cole. This whole argument that Cole sucks and Ryder is awesome is what's been making me laugh.

They are in the top half of the league in PP% as it is, why do fans need it to be "better"?

Because it's been awful recently. Only reason they're in the top half is because of the start it had. They're something like 3 for 35 recently.

No. The only way I see Gionta traded is if NJ wants him back, for a pick and or a prospect.
- fidopro


Gionta still has value in my opinion, he just doesnt seem to excel in the new system. A swap of Gionta for Elias wouldnt be bad considering Elias is a UFA and if not resigned would leave even more cap for MB to play with in the offseason. The only thing is Elias is better than Gionta and will likely retire a Devil.

Cole sucks this year and Ryder has been good. The difference between sucks and good is significant enough to call this trade a steal without the need to call anyone awesome.

The only thing you've said that makes sense.

Ryder had 7 points last year on the PP, Cole had 11.
