Habster:

Below are translated quotes from Bob Gainey who was interviewed by Journal de Montreal writer Marc De Foy at the GM meetings in Chicago.

Thank god!!! Bob Gainey has finally put an end to the constant, media driven rumors which have been circulating throughout the media. I know I was getting fed up posting the falsehoods. I’m sure Gainey and especially Christopher Higgins are glad for the time being, that these rumors are done…..at least until another one props up again (ie- Martin Havlat!!).

“We had no discussion with the Wild on Marian Gaborik” Gainey told a group of journalists waiting at the exit from a meeting of general managers in Chicago.

“At first, a plan must be developed before exploring the market for transactions.The salary cap reduced our flexibility.”

“Sundin is no longer in our plans since September,” he repeated.
