Rare moment when I would help John, but as usual you ignore facts.

Too bad facts get in the way of your version of history. Lets just take one of the Habs greatest who helped them win some of those cups.

So exactly how was someone else going to sign him?

As for the calls I will go with Grapes who actually has NHL experience.
