Montreal offered Smyth more money than Colorado, but as McGuire on TSN said the tax situation there most likely put him off. Im not familiar with the tax laws in Quebec, but its having an effect on the teams ability to sign players and it sucks ass, every year we offer more money for players and get shut out, this sucks. I dont know who they plan to sign now or trade and whats to become of Souray but this team is not looking good for next season right now. Were such a low scoring team we really needed someone to give us a boost, and if Souray leaves they wont be able to replace his goals. I think they might as well blow the team up and trade Saku and Souray, go high for next years draft its supposed to be a good one. I bet Koivu is kicking himself for re-signing now, Gainey fed him a pile of BS to stay "...were commited to building a winner around Saku.." What a joke..

Damn French media, damn French tax laws, damn you all!!!!!!

:x :x

Note: I dont hate French people or Quebec, Im just frustrated.
