I just don't think there's enough money. Does $21M and change allow MB to sign Radulov, Galchenyuk, Markov and now Alzner? Plus, they still need to address their biggest need - a centre who can score.

If MB signs Alzner then we can kiss Markov goodbye. I would rather have Markov...

I would take Jumbo Joe in a heartbeat! I hope MB can pull off these signings on Sat: Joe Thornton Alex Radulov Andrei Markov Karl Alzner

Good news. I really want to see a line of Patches/Chucky/Drouin next year.

Hmmm, it will be interesting to see what MB does with Markov and Radu. I can't see him caving on their ask of a 2-year and a 6-year contract, respectively. Does he let them walk?

I'm convinced a top-2 dman is coming: vacant - Weber Markov - Petry Schlemko - Benn Jerabek - Davidson Redmond

Just like everybody over-values Beaulieu, they're doing the same with Hudon. Vegas takes Plekanec. He's $6M for one year and becomes their defensive forward specialist.

He ran, he is faster on his feet than his skates.

Rumour has it that Beaulieu was the other Hab in the SUV with Kassian when he crashed two years ago. They kept it hidden befause they valued him at the time and thought he would clean up his act. Apparently that wasn't the case.

Man, Galchenyuk is in a funk. What's the deal?

Nesterov is bad.

Weber, Emelin and Benn all hurt. Davidson, Nesterov and Lernout playing instead. That better change next Wednesday.

I like when MTL has players who can win faceoffs. Carbonneau, Muller and Koivu spolied me (us). The current crop of centres can't win faceoffs regulalry and its disturbing. Faceoffs are a part of the game of eventually losing a key faceoff will hurt you. Just like winning a key faceoff (like when Ott won one in NY which lesd to Weber's goal) can help you.

What is Emelin doing? He looks lost tonight.

This game is crazy fast! Raanta in for the 3rd?

Emelin is offensively inept.

I was gonna say, the 4th line has been buzzing all night.

Lehknonen finally buries one! Great forecheck by Max.

Ott with a faceoff win in the offensive zone, leads to a Weber goal. 1-0 Habs

Gallagher replacing Radulov on the top line. My prediction is he gets another goal tonight.

My guess is Ott draws in tonight. McCarron out.

I know its only been a few games but I like Jordie Benn and hope LV doesn't take him. MTL will protect Weber, Petry and Beaulieu most likely, leaving a few decent dmen exposed: Emelin Benn Davidson Nesterov if I had my way, I'd rather LV take Plekanec than Emelin (both have stupid contracts) thereby freeing up significant cap space.

I know it's early but any thoughts on who the Habs will lose in the expansion draft? Can LV take Hudon?

People love whining?

What a depressing thread... glad I watched the game instead of reading everyone's negative comments. Cheer up gang, 4 wins in a row!
