No, PK Subban and Carey Price got them to the ECF.

Why worry then ?

Maybe they drafted Galchenyuk for this purpose?
- elcabong

Yes, hopefully he has worked on his first step. He will also need to play more than 14min/game.

The Habs will win a Stanley Cup before PK's contract is up.

Good point!

If they play their cards right it's possible.

I want a powerhouse team. Not a mediocre team like we have had for the past 20 years.

What the habs need to do is dump a couple of 50-60 point players. Too many of them.

DO IT BERGEVIN!

I like your thinking. Who should go first?

It would help if they could play the puck right.

We all want that.

Again... elaborate that plan of yours to get the Habs a POWERHOUSE team.

Please.

Pretty sure you're not old enough to remember the past 20 years...

You see that Bergevin will have to be very creative next season... not a lot of cap space available.
- Pecafan Fan

I disagree.
The cap went from 65 to 69 last year. Lets say we end up at 73 next year (some are predicting closer to 75 mil), we would have almost 15 mil cap space.

We would need:

backup goalie (1.5m)
tinordi re-signed (1.4m)
beaulieu re-signed (1,75 m)
weaver re-signed (or upgrade) ( 1.5 mil)
Galchenyuk re-signed ( 3 mil)
Gallagher re-signed (4 mil)
Bournival re-signed (700k)

Very do-able

PPG players don't grow on trees.

Where do they grow?

- hscesq

GAlly only had 41 points.

Hasta la wego !

Not even 10 of them last year in the NHL

We all want that.

Make some ballsy moves. Montreal always seems to want to trade away thier junk. Sometimes you need to trade players who actually have value. AKA Plekanec.

1978 Canadiens:

Dryden 8 mil
Robinson 9 mil
Savard 9 mil
Lapointe 8 mil
Lafleur 11 mil
Shutt 7 mil
Lemaire 8 mil
Gainey 7 mil
Cournoyer 8 mil
P Mahovlich 7 mil

Where does Bouchard, Engblom, Houle, Larocque, Tremblay, Jarvis, Chartraw, Nyrop, Risebrough, Wilson, Lupien….fit in.

Who do you cut?

Who do you keep?

No Junk would be a team like the Sabres. Habs forwards are just a bunch of 2nd liners.
