Yep, the only thing that could ruin it would be if Bergevin brings Plekanec back.Good news! I really thought he was heading to the KHL, this makes the Plekanec trade even sweeter.

Not always, Samsonov and Briere come to mind (from FA), otherwise there's also Parenteau and Kaberle.Alzner isn't going anywhere. The Habs always play the contracts. They won't even let a coach they fire to sit around doing nothing while collecting his money. They put him to work instead even though by firing him they've basically said they want nothing more to do with him. This organization is cheap in many ways. Alzner can suck like a Hoover and he won't miss a shift as long as he's being paid all that cash.

Samsonov was signed for 2 years at around $3.5 million per, and Briere also got 2 years at $4 million per. Alzner is making $4.6 million per and has 4 years left on his deal. They aren't going to pay him $18 million not to play for the next 4 years.Not always, Samsonov and Briere come to mind.
If you think that the Habs are going to pay the $18 million balance of Alzner's contract just to get rid of him then you clearly haven't been paying attention to how this team conducts its business. "Fabulate" on that.That's just babbling. Habs have sat out players paid good cash before that were not performing. You obviously think that once you've typed it, your fabulations become truth.
Reilly is already under contract this year for $725K.
I wouldn't mind Reilly with Weber, I'd just be happy to see anyone other than Alzner/Benn/Schlemko there lol.
Let's just hope that this year - MB's solution to fixing our D is not to throw a bunch of depth players next to Weber and hope for the best though.Look at the habs last season, you need 9 or 10 or heck even 11 D in the NHL now a days.
There will be injuries or players will under perform etc... Having depth on D is important.
Julsen/Mete should play with the big club but they are still young players that will have ups and downs. They will come out of the lineup at some point. Someone will suffer an injury or two. We have a lot of bodies that can battle fo bottom 3 D spot. Also opens ups some trade opputrunties.
Deal is 650K. (capfriendly)
Weber
Petry
Alzner
Schlemko
Benn
Reilly
Valiev
Mete
Juulsen
Sklenicka
Moravcik
Lernout
Taormina
Bourque
That's a lot of D for 2 teams......let's hope someone stand out.
Bergevin will be gone before the end of the next season*Alzner will be dealt with by our new GM. No way he finishes his contract playing in the NHL.
Bergevin is done after this season.
If the team plays better WITHOUT him, I don’t see why not.Samsonov was signed for 2 years at around $3.5 million per, and Briere also got 2 years at $4 million per. Alzner is making $4.6 million per and has 4 years left on his deal. They aren't going to pay him $18 million not to play for the next 4 years.

Yeah, you don't see why not because it's not your money being wasted on a non-playing asset. But Geoff Molson sure as hell doesn't care how well the team plays without him. If he has to shell out $18 more million on Alzner he damn well expects him to suit up and play for it. He made Therrien stick around in a scouting role rather than let him sit on his backside collecting free money and that was a much smaller sum than what Alzner is owed.If the team plays better WITHOUT him, I don’t see why not.
Hope he can replace alzner
Maybe a GM who owes MB a favour? Arizona with the John Scott trade maybe?is there any teams in the NHL who dont have scouts?
If so we got a chance
