We'll see. It's one year.

I certainly prefer that to the Ladd and Backes deals.

yeah i don't get the hate for that signing. it's about as practical as it gets.... team was desperate for scoring, they signed a forward who should be able to score. for one year. im sure it would have been better to sign Andrew Ladd for 1000 years but i like the Radulov move.

Where in the cart does it mention Subban didn't throw one single hit during the whole last season?

He used to do these hits with his back... these were awesome....

the physical element completely disappeared from his game the last 2 years... but it didn't affect his effectiveness i don' think.

he was too aggressive before, going for the big hit that left him exposed and often lead to 2 on 1 for the other team

I don't believe it reduced his effectiveness but it does change the way your opponent plays against you.

Not everyone wants to get rammed into the boards by Shea Weber.

How is it that the Habs still have a terrible bottom 6?

I think he stopped because other players now expect it.

Those hits were awesome when he connected. When he missed, he took himself out of the play completely

Just realized the Habs signed Chris Terry....

Do not let him out of the AHL. He's the kind of guy who Therrien will absolutely fall in love with despite him producing (frank)ing NOTHING.

I know it's only intra-squad scrimmage, but that Scherbak-Bitten duo was fun to watch yesterday
