Reggie was being TOLD by that doucebag Ronald Corey what to do.........Reggie was the front man for a sad sad time for the Habs. None of which was his fault. He did not want the job, but he was a good foot soldier. Ronald Corey and the previous Mol$on regime ruined the Habs at that point, and now it's another Mol$on and Bergevin........more sad times.I hated the Chelios and 2nd for Savard trade when it happened. Chelios was a recent Norris trophy winner who could play 30 minutes per game and was pure nasty to play against. Savard was small and in decline. He had nothing to do with our 1993 Cup win which he watched in a suit.
Another horrible Serge Savard trade was Claude Lemieux for Sylvain Turgeon.
Yes...the Turgeon-Corson trade was brutal. It was a typical Reggie Houle trade. Like you said, Houle would always include a prospect as a throw in even though he was already getting fleeced on the NHL'ers involved. Furthermore our drafting was horrendous during that period and we never replenished the bare cupboards. The Houle era was by far the worst era ever for the Habs.
