Eric Engels: Subban Negotiation Lingers. Doan Here? Not-so-Great Expectations...

Go Habs! Great read. I picked Habs for 10th. Also, I would be shocked if Doan picked the Habs even if the money was greater, he is going to a contender and I think will use the Habs as a negotianing chip to other teams.

The Subban negotiation festers like a bad fart in an airplane. Everyone's waiting for the air to clear so they can move on to whatever else the Canadiens will get up to between now and training camp.

15th place team who added 2 4th line players and a 6th dman.
Do you really expect them to do much better than last year????

They also added a top 6 F and a top 2 D, let's not forget that.

Healthy Gionta and Markov will help.

Gionta will be back, markov might play a few games, Bourque might not totally suck. Don't forget the Habs were one of the teams with the most games lost to injuries last year (1st or 2nd in the league).

I see them around the 10th place bu what do I know, I live in Ontario.

More grit + Markov + Doan + a rental = contender.

Je suis bien d'accord avec HORS JEU, toutmlemonde voit PK meilleur qu,il est en ralité, oui, il possède un bon potentiel, mais avec n'importemlquelle équipe il est un top 4 et non un top 2 , pour l'instant, le deveindra-t-il peut-être gtout va dpendra du developement de son égo bien plus que le reste.

Mais dans trois ans s'il est toujours avec le Ch il sera toujours u topm4 et non un top 2, du côté gauche les deux meilleurs Bennett et Beaulieu dans cet ordre, et du côté droit Thrower et eliis dans ce ordre également et PK est plus petit et moins physique que les deux drotier. Deplus tenez-vous bien, selon plusieurs éclaireurs de la LNH qui ont épié les deux à 18 ans, bien Thrower esrt de beaucoup en avance sur PK au même a^ge.

This is right up there with being the youngest team in the league!

Markov is two years removed from being a top 2 D. He's also 33 or 34 and coming off serious knee and ankle injuries on opposite legs.

It remains to be seen if he's a top 2 guy now, but it didn't look like it at the end of last year.

Just sayin'.

However I do think the Habs will be better as Max and PK should continue to improve and Price is a top 10 goalie....if not top 5.

They also lost many leads in the third, and lost 16 times in shootout.
