I expect Semin will play very well under Markov, this will be the pickup of the offseason! Waiit and see, much different than in Carolina.

He will never get more than one year at a time...at very low $$ cost. If he doesn't perform or wants to leave there is a lots of young guns that need a chance. Very good position for the Habs.....

MT is going to change his approach...now he has youth, skill, size, talent that he just didn't have at this time last year. He is a smart coach, has the team to play a higher level.

MB will move DD and Gilbert before the season starts...makes room for ready prospects.

With Scherbach and McCarron by the time playoffs start....going to be a very strong next few years for the Habs!

Alexandre Semin is talented, but how often will he show up to play games. Given the coach, I can see him be delegated to 3rd line and have little impact on the team. However, he does have the potential to net quite a few goals. It depends on the effort he puts out.

He hasn't changed his approach since Pitt. With Crosby and Malkin his system still had the worst possesion stats of any team in the league

TBH, (frank) Corsi and Fenwick

Last season, Kings had terrible C/F and won the cup.

Very different Habs team going into this year from last....has the players now to open things up a little more.

Up to the players to show they can/will deliver, don't blame MT for everything!
