Bring saku back?

[MasterD]

Absolutely, not even worth thinking about this IMO, just do it.

The last thing this franchise needs is another sentimental acquisition.

Love Saku, but that ship has sailed.

Yeah don't touch our old captain that was the heart and soul of the team for many years and the only bright spot we had here forever.

I mean his point production went from 0.77PPG to 0.60PPG and he's 39yo. He still plays about 15minutes per game. He should have never left this team in the first place, do what's right and bring him back to retire as a Habs.

DD is one of our most productive forwards. Saku is old. Stop living in the past.

We are wise to you...the only reason you like DD is because he is french...!!!

He will be staying in Anaheim, I could see him pulling a Doc Halliday and signing a 1 day contract, and then retire in Montreal...

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Hopefully, Saku never plays in a Habs uniform ever again unless it's for an old timers game. He deserves better.
And this move wouldn't help the Habs in any way.

Cogliano has been killing it for them recently and I would suspect Cogliano has had a hand in Saku's recent hot streak...

I'm on board with honouring Saku for all he did for us, but the Habs simply shouldn't factor sentiment into their on-ice roster moves. This is exactly what brought Daniel Briere to Montreal -- sentiment. It was wrong to get Briere on the basis of his heritage and it would be wrong to get Koivu on the basis of his former captaincy.
