I think they will, and I don't think it will be an issue this season. Boston won't have a goon anymore. Guys like Lucic, McQuaid, Miller don't fight goons anyways so it wouldn't make a difference against Boston.
Toronto Will rarely play Colton Orr and when they do he won't be that much of a problem as long as a hab doesn't drop the gloves against him. Outside of those two teams there isn't a lot of pressure for the habs to "stand up" to mismatched fisticuffs... And when called upon, Prust, Tinordi, Weise and to a lesser extent Moen can drop em.
Unless things change with the habs two rivals... I doubt Bergevin makes finding a goon a priority.
