Tatar-Danault-Gallywagger Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson Toffoli-KK-Armia Lekky-Evans-PoPo-Weal-etc Three lines that can actually score! And a solid, if not flashy, defence corps. And a real back-up for Price that can take over for periods of time when necessary. Call me optimistic.

Would you re-sign Galchenyuk over the summer for a small contract?

I'm reading more and more how Bergy really did screw this one up. Offerred the same as Dallas too late, some reports saying his offer didn't have full detail in it, like when bonuses etc would be paid. I'm not sure about the sources, but I'm a firm believer of the smoke-fire theory.

What about Sherbak?

Well it wasn't a trade, so really no issue there.

Anyone know where Juulsen's game is? Developing? Stopped? Any potential or busting out?

And yet one legitimate first line centre would make you think the team could do quite well.

I think I saw a graphic recently which places Montreal firmly at the bottom in terms of players brought through the system who have made the NHL based on the last years. I want to find that.

And his stubborn insistence on sticking with Therrien far too long.

It's a good contract. I get the fear with that number, but that's at least his value. I agree that the issue is with Plex and Shaw etc. Though I do believe the latter was signed with the expectation he was going to be a top-6 guy.

Well, if I'm honest, I try not to think about the Habs. It hurts..

Its a fair comment. I have to say I'm not against what he's done at the NHL level. What bothers me is our pitiful drafting and terrible development.

Grigorenko hasn't signed yet in Russia. Has the offer from there as well as two NHLclubs.

Have to think this was part of plan b if Radu signed elsewhere. I think if Radu stays we don't sign Hemsky.

You're becoming quite cynical, Cuke.
