    My proposal is to have the returning vets on the top 3 lines, Kovalev/Koivu/Zednik - Sundstrom/Bonk/Bulis - Ryder/Ribeiro/Dagenais (with competition from Higgins, Perezhogin, Hossa, Plekanec for the left wing spot). Steve Begin as the fourth line centre.

    On defense, Rivet/Markov - Streit/Souray - Komisarek/Hainsey.

    Dandenault and Bouillon serve as a fourth defence pairing and fourth line wingers on either side of Begin up front.

    Whaddya think?:)

    what do u think forgetting about ryder hes on the 2nd line without a doubt and dagenais hasnt shown anything in camp my guess is perezhogin well be on the second line and the 4 th line will have higgins,begin,vander

    Great news! I think it's pretty well a sure thing that he will be at training camp next week, Green has already said he should be invited. I would love to see this guy start the season with the Habs.

    I know there's the 'don't bring him up yet, must let players develop in the minors' way of thinking but isn't that somewhat old-school, from an era when an organization wanted to grow their assets slowly with a mind to keeping them around through their entire careers?

    These days players switch teams much more (just look at our roster from 3 years ago, as someone posted!) and they become UFAs younger, so why not use Latendresse now if he fits? Look at Bergeron in Boston last year, fans love young players.

    he disagree with putting him on the thrid or fourth line he needs to get alot of ice time to develop besides we have alot of prospects coming in this season

    He could get 12+ minutes a game on the third or fourth line, bring some get-go and a big physical presence, and if his offence shows promise and Dagenais isn't finding the back of the net, Latendresse could even be bumped to the second line, I mean why not?

    If we were back in 1996 or 97 when we had little in the way of talented prospects, I'd be all for it. But now we got plenty of good forward prospects. Look at the list of players who could deserve a place in the opening night roster:

    Dagenais

    Hossa

    Perezhogin

    Higgins

    Plekanec

    Then you got other players like Milroy, Kostitsyn, Chipchura and Lapierre who are a little older and further in their development.

    But hey! If Latendresse really has an outstanding camp and plays better than any of those other guys, why not keep him around? Have him play a physical game on the 4th line and give him additionnal offensive time on the PP.

    (oh, m&k, I can't figure out why you would take the time to type out "sorry for the spelling" instead of just backspacing and removing the extra "p" in "develop." I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm just curious?)
