habs just have to ride out some back contract. imagine if the habs canned bergevin one year sooner. so much damage could have been avoided.

If they canned him a year sooner there'd have been no Cup finals and the team would be as mediocre right now

your probably right about the cup finals but the habs would have a whole lot more cap room to work with.

Yeah it'd be ideal but at the same time I get the logic of capitalizing on the last years of Weber and Price and they never reach the Finals without Toffoli, Edmundson, Allen and Anderson. It's really last offseason that was a mess.

If Price is healthy this year... I can see this team competing.

The rookies are a year older and wiser, Petry showed willingness to stay and I can see a Drouin revenge tour coming up - it is his last contractual year... players always explode then.

a Drouin- Suzuki - CC line has the potential to be lethal.

This habs team, if healthy is not as bad as we think.
