  I don't believe the Senators "let" the Habs win anything; They are professional Hockey players, and were the better team this series. Avenging Eller , although I get your sentiment,would not have worked out. Galchenyuk went after him at the time of the hit, and he was suspended. Prust tried when he came back, and there was no bite. As for your prediction ; I'm pleased someone has the balls to make a prediction for the future with that much certainty, even if the balls are glass. Glad you're done with hockey; with your analysis, we won't miss you.

  Interesting study, Chris; thanks for the comparisons. IMO, the biggest issue is going to be Markovs' ability to play. He had too many minutes after playing in the KHL, and still has a restructured knee . The wear and tear playing the NHL game, vs KHL surface and style is ,IMO, too much for him now. I'd love to see MTL work hard with Drewiskie over the Summer; This player has alot of potential and good reviews,but needs conditioning and better positioning ,coaching. I'm uncertain if we have to go too far out of our way to find players. Subbans gotta stop those big hits,unless he makes them! If not, he takes the entire team out of position in their own zone. Diaz is offensively skilled, but too soft on the puck. Boullion won't move now that he's signed, so I suspect he's in next season; Jorges could be moved;Kaberle buyout is going to hurt; My "D" line up with alternates Jorges /Drewiskie Emelin/Markov Subban/Boullion Tinordi/ Weber Wish list : Kevin Shattenkirk And an in "your face attitude" from all of them!

  Interesting; Wasn't deciding, was an opinion (that's the IMO part). I'd love to read what others with more insight may have. I didn't include Armstrongs and Ryders that won't be resigned; or DD's and Prices long term commitments...but included players that would generate interest if packaged with a draft pick.. The salary cap is going to restrict alot of teams that will be restructuring the way they try to upgrade.

  With the new Salary Cap and a probable Kaberle buyout,the only way Mtl will get the #4-5 D-men they need, and a top Center/Wing that can pot 20 dirty goals will be through trades, and I think it will include :alot of draft picks,combined with Moen, Gorges,Patches,Beaulieu. IMO...

  Two anyway, Timo.. I agree...Way back I questioned keeping Markov, with all the injuries done to his knees. He played well for about 20 games, then fizzled. We forget he played in the KHL pre CBA ; and I'm certain that he left alot of his game there. If I was MB, he wouldn't be back,unless he was willing to play very limited time, as a 6th or even 7th D.

  Like all of us, it appears you are looking for the root of the problems, in the past! lol
