Habs 4 Life
No Excuses
I liked Gio, really did during his time here but It's time to move on and let him walk. Best of luck to him, classy guy
Gio deserves an appreciation thread. He was what we paid him to be, but there's no longer a fit here going forward.
He's not officially gone.

No he means CHarakter. The real one.
@EricEngels: Gionta would have to take a considerable discount to remain in Montreal. It's highly unlikely at this point, despite mutual appreciation
Yep, such short short memories on this board. The GTFO crowd are just embarassing themselves, wait till they see their 20+ goal captain get swapped for an 8 goal $3M Kulemin.
Does anyone think Gionta is anything other than a consummate professional mercenary?
He's as much a Hab as he will be a Panther or Hurricane or whatever next season.
I'm glad it looks like we're cutting loose from the guy.
Last time Gionta was 20+ scorer Kulemin scored 30. How much do you actually think Gionta is looking for?
So close to no more Gionta.
GREAT news.

I'm kind of worried we let guys go but do not replace them. At this rate we'll be way worse than last year.
Let's not celebrate yet.
Maybe Gio will realize how low his market value is and then he'll take the lowball offer MB made him.
With this news and the Gorges trade.. Looks like Bergevin is looking to save money where he can.
I like the fact he sees the "fat" at the same place I see it.
Except for DD..
and that Moen wasn't dealt at the draft, surprising to me.. but maybe no one wants him at all.
