No.

If we get Yakupov or Murray, yes. But I expect those two to be gone by our pick. Is Galchenyuk ready after missing a whole development year due to a major injury?

I'm not sure about Grigorenko/Forsberg either.

Grigorenko. The fix is in this heartless (frank) had mono and his ankle was half off. He is such a heartless douche.

no... I think he is declining fast though and has no heart...
- captaingio

How do you know about the heart thing?

Also, this past season was his worst in a few years. He didn't quite have the supporting staff that he did in previous seasons. I'd wait one more season and see how he does.

I think Eller could replace him on the PK.

Add Leblanc, Bourque, White, Dumont and Moen and you might not need Plek on PK.

- QuebecPride

Why wouldn't you want as many good players as possible? Just because someone can replace him eventually, why would you want to get rid of him?

He has the talent to adjust, but he didn't seem to like to get targeted nightly in the playoffs.

He could very well be our guy.

You can call it if you like. I'm just going to give him another chance, because this past season was not indicative of his recent past.

I don't want to replace him, I guess I didn't finish my thought. That would permit Plek to play 20 5on5/PP minutes, rather than 4 minutes a game on PK. Let the checkers play on PK.

I don't think he stays and unless they make a trade it's not the Habs decision to make

Canada's biggest banks accepted tens of billions in government funds during the recession, according to a report released today by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.At some point during the crisis, three of Canada's banks — CIBC, BMO, and Scotiabank — were completely under water, with government support exceeding the market value of the company," Macdonald said. "Without government supports to fall back on, Canadian banks would have been in serious trouble."
