The Habs have $8M left. If they can re-sign Koivu/Kovalev for say $7M I will be ecstatic. If not, Kovalev/Lang for $7M (might be more doable) and I am still happy.

Would you guys be happy if we could get Gaborik for 6 years 42mil? I would be ecstatic to have him for $7 mil a year. It's risky because of his injury problems but damn it would be amazing if when he was healthy.

That starting lineup (first page) really doesn't look threatening at all.
Pac/Gomez/Cammalleri - Should be good for some goals. No size, might get pushed around a bit.
D'Ago/Pleks/A.Kost - Meh. Pleks is terrible so that doesn't help, weak line, no grit.
Metropolit/Lapierre/Latendresse - O.K 3rd line, Metropolit sucks. Gl/ML had good chemistry last year though.
Stewart/Chipchura/BGL - Worst/slowest 4th line in the NHL ? perhaps.
Markov/Gorges - Gorges should be 4/5th dman at best
Spacek/Hamrlik - Dependable, no complaints.
Gill/O'Byrne - My god, atleast they are big?
Plekanec really stick out now. Replace him with a good center (preferably big) to play with the bros and we might have something. Or pray that Maxwell is ready.
