I am sorry guys but when did you heard those things about Kovy taking a paycut and Sourray accepting a 4.5 M contract to allow the habs to trade him ?
Never heard a single word of it.

There really are quite a few rude people on this website.
I'd like Markov to be able to focus a lot on helping out offensivly and with Souray being the biggest Defensive liability it would be nice to put him with someone who can just focus on the defensive aspects.

But i'm just saying this to defend what I wrote, honestly I just placed D together quickly. It doesn't matter how you place them, that's Carbo's job not mine. If I could manage a team of NHL players as good as him i'd probably have a different job right now.

Wahtttt why the hell would you seperate markov and souray (if he magicly decides to accept 4.5 a year) , you think they will pay almost 5 million a year for a 3rd defenseman what have you been smoking?

Wow are you high? Thos article makes no sense , all your crazy theories have no correlation with eachother and none of them holdup. Where is the proof , we don't trust you , don't post something unless it's credible. I hate when people make up crap. Let our god damn draft picks developp into great players and that's it. Stop demolishing and rebuilding our team. We aren't ranked number 2 in prospect depth for no reason , god this is getting out of hand..

Wow it's been a while since i've posted here.
First off, let me just say that I enjoyed reading that. I know that it won't happen and I really doubt the whole Kovalev contract thing because as people have said it really doesn't make sense. For example the Islanders may have altered Yashin's contract and many other teams would have done the same.

People often seem to forget that Streit was playing on the wing near the end of last season and I could see Gainey doing the same this year as he is a cheap option on the wing.
If we keep Souray then we have

Markov-Komi
Souray-Bouillon

Dandenault-Georges/UFA

If we have enough money for a cheap UFA we could replace georges but you know if we have this group of people Gainey probably won't dump more than a mil on another D, he really wants to fill holes from within so look for him to keep it simple.

Now, if Gainey doesn't get Souray he will NEED to play the market and find a replacement, hopefully a good 2-way D. We also have Niinimaa but I hope somehow we don't keep him as his performances are often lackluster.

Of course with all this we have Streit playing on the 4th line or wherever Carbo places him.

So, Habsrock, I don't think that your plan is feasible or will occur but it was nice to think about. I like these articles, full of speculation and fun to think about, keep it up!

I really hope you are joking about ribeiro being a future franchise player. My guess is last season he was simply working hard to prove the Habs wrong and get a big contract, reality will set in next year. Although Niinimaa was a flop I'm still glad to be rid of Mickey Ribs.

That Niinimaa deal screwed you over so bad – you got rid of Ribero, a future franchise player for a crappy, expensive d-man. We certainly got the long end of the stick there
