What do you think of Laraques to Montreal? Is it good for me, or will he even get noticed?

while i liked big georges, he tends to not be the big physical prescence you think he'd be. Nobody wants to fight him and surprisingly he doesn't really check that much. But he has decent skill for an enforcer but not much speed. He'll be fine on your fourth line, third if you need him.
I'm hearing rumors that Jagr could go to mtl,edm,or pit. So maybe big georges will be knocking people out for jagr.

The Jagr-Montreal rumor is new to me, but I had heard Edmonton and Pittsburgh, and pretty much disregarded Edmonton.

I thought i read it somewhere and i went to find the link for you and it's nowhere to be found. My bad. Laraque will just have to knock guys out for kovie instead.

I can deal with that. It'll help alleviate Kovy's need to lay the stick on someone's shin (he go to box, feel shame) after getting man-handled from behind

damn no more jagr in pit. So he's still all about the money, guess it's a good thing he didn't come to the pens. don't want him corrupting evgeni and sending him to russia too.

On the other hand, it might be nice for him to play close to home

what does jagr have to still prove in the NHL. good for him if he wants to go and make money. are you more upset that he is going to Russia or not going to Pitts? also Malkin already signed a contract extensionm so you won't have to worry about him leaving for a while.
