The Habs would be relocated before having Pouliot on the team...AGAIN.

Not sure why... of NHL forwards who played 1200 minutes or more he ranked #37 in Primary Points / 60 and #1 on the Habs, so he clearly produced for his position in the roster. Plus, it's a different GM and almost completely different coaching staff. The only coach who who was there when Pouliot was there is Kirk Mueller, who was also let go in 2011 and then hired back in 2016. And neither Plekanec (29pts) or Gallagher (28pts) had great season either, so it's a chance for both teams to give players a new chance. The cap hit for both pairs is almost the same. The average age is almost the same, too. The Habs need a C (Nugent-Hopkins), the Oil need a winger (Gallagher), and both teams are taking on a boat anchor contract in Plekanec (6Mx1) and Pouliot (4Mx2).
