Sorry TOFAN, but reports say hes headed out West, somewhere closer to Utah where he resides. If you dont believe me look at the enclosed link. Guesses say Edmonton or Calgary
What I meant was if he turns down all offers
from montreal and whats to wait for the
free agent dead line, the cats should give
montreal a trade to get his rights and then
make him a deal so that the other teams
don't get a shot at him.
Ahhhhhhhh…the offseason. “Trading for free agents”…what a concept! LMAO
;)
Cahoon has relatives in Alberta, I believe. All things being equal, I think he would gravitate out there unless Montreal, Hamilton, or another suitor backed up a bank truck and poured out a lot more loot!
Cahoon didn’t hurt himself in the bidding war last night, eh? He had a great game.
Re Hamilton landing him, I haven’t ruled out anything in this league since Ralph Sazio went over to the Dark (Blue) Side, so I’m not going to start now!
That being said, having Marcel Desjardins as GM may prove to be a pole of attraction for free agent Als players who know him. It does give us some pull, I believe.
Ben Cahoon is one of the best ,but if I am Desjardins I want young up coming reasonably priced talent .
Ben has been a star palyer ,he's a bit banged up ,high mileage on a Mercedes,so I say no.
If the salary cap is enforced, then Desjardin will become our cap specialist. Big salaries won't be taken on unless others are dropped.I look for next year's Cats to be much younger and cheaper. If this becomes the case, then you can forget about Cahoon in Hamilton.

Sorry, but I don't see Cahoon leaving Montreal for Hamilton. He would like to be closer to his family that lives in the mid-western US. Although I would love to see him play for my Als another year or too, I think his last couple of years will be played in Calgary.
