I'm happy with what the HABS have done this offseason, got rid of dead weight ( Souray, Niminaa, Samsonov, Bonk, Johnson, Abby), brought in some veteran leadership that is defensively responsible ( Hamerlik, Smolinski), and left room for the kids that just won the Calder Cup. Should be a great year.
Can't wait to get tickets and head up to Montreal for a game this fall. GO HABS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Souray was the best defenceman they had. Far from deadweight.

Souray was a defensive liability and nowhere near as good as Markov or Kommy. He made more highlight reels for having forwards deek him out of his socks than he did for scoring goals. With Souray acting like a human pylon, and Abby giving up rebounds like they're free tickets to the circus last season, the Habs goals against should go down by 50 goals this year. I stand by my statement, Souray was DEADWEIGHT! We are far better off without him.jiveturkey:

Sad thing is, I liked Souray, but he wasn't an All Star as the media said he was. He was a defenseman who was weak defensively and needed to be paired with a strong defensive D-man who could cover his liabilities. He had 2 things going for him, he had a booming, accurate slapshot, and he was a great team mate who stuck up for the smaller guys on the team, and would be the face of the team and talk to the media after the game, regardless of the games outcome. For those two things, I liked Souray, but he wasn't worth the money he thought he was, and a lot of other teams agreed. Thats why it took so long for him to sign a contract. If Edmonton hadn't been stoned on every other deal they tried to make, Lowe wouldn't have felt the need to sign a "name" and give Souray what he did. Way too much money for what he brings to the table, but hey, I wish him the best and thank him for his time in MTL.tedtim:
As for the current HABS team, Buffalo and Ottawa have lost a lot, Toronto and MTL have gained. While I think the Northeast is a four horse race, I wouldn't even start to consider where the four will fall at this point of the year, but believe it'll be closer than it was last year. Personally, I'd prefer it that way, it keeps it interesting. Also, it wouldn't surprise me to see all 4 teams make the playoffs.
