I decided to have a look at some of the character, depth type of guys to see if you think there should be any interest in any of them.

I like our depth still as a team, but figuring cheaper options to Moen if he was traded. Or a bottom pairing right handed defenseman.

I got Daniel Carcillo, Jack Skille, Blair Jones, Brandon Yip at forward.

Right handed defensemen would be Mike Weaver, Michael Kostka or Deryk Engelland.

For forwards, I don't think there is room for any more role guys like that. Eller, Bourque, Moen, Prust, White, Bournival the possible return of Gio will be our bottom 6 forwards. I still think we need a big, strong center capable of winning draws like a McClement but apart from that our bottom 6 forwards re pretty much complete.

On D, I woukld stay away from Kostka or Engellend until we know what Pateryn can do. Right now w have Subban, Gorges, Markov, Emelin as the top 4 and then Tinordi, Beaulieu, Pateryn for the bottom 2 pairing.

What I see it, what this team needs is a top 6 winger and a top 4 Dman, not role guys.

Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
PAP - Plek - Bourque
Galchenyuk - Eller - Bournival
Moen - Weisse - Prust

No idea why they let White go as he is a good energy guy who can play d and makes nothing. Therrien just hates him though.

PK - Markov
Emelin - Beaulieu
Tinordi - Weaver
Patyrn/Bouillon

We could use a replacement for White since he wasn't offered a QO but I don't think anything else will change. Would be nice to upgrade Bournival but I'm not holding my breath for Iginla/Boyle/Kane

I have a feeling Plekanec or Eller++ will be dealt for that missing top4 d and the Habs will sign a top-6 winger, à la Moulson. Galchenyuk moved at C.

I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened yet. I thought it would be for a winger though.

Unless they sign Boyle (both actually ) I think they should let Tinordi and Beaulieu have tons of minutes. This team's window is just starting to open, it's okay to take a step back next season for better long-term gains.

I thought PAP was a rw so maybe a second line of
Galchenyuk plekanec pap

One of the reasons Sekac signed in Montreal was because of Plekanec. Seriously doubt that he's traded at this point. But I would agree that Galchenyuk needs to play center so something has to give.

Eller I guess.

Malholtra was the kind of depth move the OP was talking about.

Love the Gilbert signing. Hopefully Weaver will be 7th Dman

Right now I am still guessing that galchenyuk is going to play wing.

If Habs can somehow get VrBata then we have a dangerous looking team.

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Parenteau
Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Vrbata
Bourque-Eller-Gallagher
Prust-Malhotra-Weise

Possibly fit in Sekac as well for an all Czech line?

If Sekac makes it in, Bourque is out IMO:

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Parenteau
Sekac-Plekanec-Vrbata
Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher
Prust-Malhotra-Weise

If Sekac is any good I could live with that.
My fear is that the Sekac sweepstakes work out like the Brunstumm sweepstakes.

That was EXACTLY my thoughts yesterday!

I still think that the odd Center extra must be DD... Plek would be a perfect
3rd line center. But then, PacMax would want to follow his Center... That would
hurt too much.

I do not trust that KHL kid, and I've read mix-reviews about him.

Eller I guess.

I don't think Gilbert is better than Georges... So we got worst at D, not better.
(Ok, we saved money to give more to PK, but we're not better).

- I like Parenteau to replace Gio.
- I like Malhotra to replace White (which I'll start a thread about... Habs RUINED
that kid's career).

I wish he was odd man out, especially if Galchenyuk moves to C. However, I don't ever see him being moved...EVER!! LOL

If he is staying with Habs, I would love for him to be moved to wing, maybe a line of 67-27-51 eventually?

I don't think DD is build for winger, it wouldn't last. With his points average and his salary, he should be easy to move. But then... PacMax wouldn't stay...

If Gilbert, can make a first pass out of our zone then he is 10x better then Georges.

Gorges had his role and played it perfectly. Emelin being a year removed from surgery should be better and takes the place of Gorges. Gilbert takes the place of the sack of excrement Emelin was last year.

Also, Sekac is a defensive forward so bottom 6, not top 6.

He ranked second on his team in assists and points, and tied for second in goals.
Not bad for a defensive player.

He supposedly won their version of the selke.

Also, and I know they only do 1 assist per goal, but his team sucked if his totals were second on the team.

well hows about (frank) you then Bergy

Bring back Koivu!!! Move one of the other Centers to the Wing

Moen needs to go
Bourque should be used as trade bait
Not sure I understand not signing White, or trading Gorges. Although I agree it is time to let the kids play.
Parentaeu, Gilbert, was a good sign
Not sold on Malholtra although for the price can't beat it
#67 will wear the C next year
