I want it to be over but then again, I don't. This is one of the most fascinating threads I've read and had the privilege to contribute to since I've been posting on HF.
The way this whole story has been developing, the manner in which we've had to piece together scenarios and possible permutations to implicate the Habs, has been completely engrossing. I think somewhere, we've also become more appreciative of the organization we're fans of as we learned of the pitfalls and constraints of a franchise operating in a non-hockey market and facing gripping talent turnover.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how much I've appreciated all of you for your contributions -- you've all added a lot of food for thought and I've enjoyed every second of it. In particular, thank-you
@Adam Michaels for the original thread idea and to the mods for allowing this thread to continue into its current version. At first, I thought the mods were going to simply join it with the standard trade thread. But then, it took on a life of its own and it just challenged everyone to put forth a lot of really thoughtful and well-reasoned posts. Not to mention some well-placed humor.
This is one shining example of how a forum such as this, can deliver a whole lot of quality content.
So before this whole thing is over, just a couple of words -- thank-you.
