    I definitely do not agree that PK is done for the season. He is not a replacement for anyone, except in the fact that he can put up points a la Markov.

    In fact, I think this will just bolster and improve PK's play, and the Wiz can surely act as a younger mentor for him.

  • Comment on Canadiens acquire Wisniewski

    I love this deal. He was one of the dmen becoming unrestricted free agents at season's end that I had my eyes on for the Habs. This was reinforced watching him in the game on the island the other night, thinking "Man we should get that guy."

    He adds much needed grit and a great shot. As the top scoring dman for the Isles, he was also the 3rd leading scorer on the team. He's small at only 5'11, but doesn't play like it.

    Nice move Mnsr. DG!!!

    I'm so up on the Gomez/Gionta/Pacioretty line; really think that's going to be good for Gomez especially.

    I'm not a fan of having Kostitsyn play with Lappy and Halpy... I think he should go back with Cammellari and Pleks. Being a shooter, he needs someone to set him up. Cammy opens up space for him, while he does the same for Cammy.

  • Comment on Pacioretty back on top line

    I like the fact that MaxPac plays on the top line. Everyone knows that's where he belongs and he was right to say so earlier this year that it would be better for him to stay in Hamilton rather than join the Habs' 4th line.

    That said, I don't know if I like the idea of AK46 playing with Max and Jeff. We had a top line going when all three were producing: Pleks/Cammy/AK46. Why not put Gionta back with Gomer when he comes back and put MaxPac with them....they would form an all US line

    We could call it the "Free-trade connection" :)

    Price -- he's my boy. I've supported and believed in him since day one. Now he's making me look good, and we all benefit!!!!!!!!

    I know, what is Hab Nation going to do when the team continues to do well. It has to criticize someone or something...well maybe that's what Kovalev is for :)

    Ultimately Gomez will put points up, but it's true, the fact the team is winning is what matters.
