For a while I was naive thinking the best KHL center could fill the 1st or 2nd center with the Habs, especially when Desharnais was our #1 center. On paper, maybe, but not in reality.
Player Discussion Former Habs & Picks watch: Gone but not forgotten (No Current NHLers) II
- Thread starter montreal

I think the KHL has had money problems and the quality of play has probably dropped. You have a combination of guys who are AHL stars who can play there, less physical guys who have an easier time, and random guys from other leagues.
I don't remember Dietz being unphysical, but he seems to be really taking to Kazakhstan, team captain and all. There has to be a reason no NHL team has given him a look, maybe he's clearly an AHL star with no NHL upside? He was almost certainly better than some of the many third pairing D MB brought in and let go.

Houde is doing well in the ECHL after being sent down, 13 pts in 7 games.
Ikonen having a career year, 1 pt away from the team lead.
after being one of the top scorers in the Swiss league last year, Andrighetto's had a big drop in production this year. Same goes for Nygren as his production is down after a good season last year. Yannick Weber is on the same team as Andrighetto.
Looks like the Kostitsyn brothers are out of hockey, I thought I saw that they were going to play in the Belarus league but not sure what happened there.

What ever happened to McShane? I loved the pick at first, but didn't really follow him afterward. Looks like he never improved at all, just kept putting up 60 something points in 60 something games and then went to Europe.

I saw a short clip of him the other day scoring a goal with some team with lots of ads on their jerseys. Now sports a beard and looks even smaller.David Desharnais incoming to Olympics Team Canada if NHL is out?
Weiss was funny in that the Habs was always the only line up could make.
His dad a huge Habs fan. Good story.
I liked White.
Also remembered for his accidental on purpose trip of Michel Therrien during practice. Dumped him pretty good.
Saku was on fire the year he blew out his knee against the Hawks. Never the same after that. Leveled off.
Best center the Habs have had in last twenty five years. Easy.
Then they made Smurf Line 2 with Gomez, Gionta and Cammyhey woah woah ... Brian Savage was always on track for a 50-goal season ... until Halloween
Don't forget the imfamous "Smurf Line" of Koivu, Petrov and the wrong Bure brother. It was like the Flyer's "Legion of Doom" line but just 75% of the size (and arguably skill)
ehhhh that post-Roy trade decade sure had some dark days.... dark days indeed ....
I wonder if the habs tried to get him help with that. No, I guess I don’t, they never do that.
This little item appeared during January but it somehow didn't make it here -- Desharnais may be looking to retire after this season.
Lots of great memes about David Desharnais, will probably be as big a legacy as how Michel Therrien deployed him.
We'll never forget Michel Therrien's penchant for certain diminutive players, like David Desharnais and Francis Bouillon, which led to one of the best loved gifs that this forum produced over the years.
LMAO !!! ....... again
I don’t care… bring the General back. Season is lost, so play 11 forwards and 7 defence for just 10 games to let him reach 1,000. Let him ride the bench and play the PP.
Then kick Burrows down to Laval and let Markov run the specialty teams next season.
One of the best pp in the league when he was around... One of the worse since... That one summer was so infuriating, Radulov, i mean, you make sure you lock him up period lol... That massive disrespect towards Markov, if only for his "dog-like" loyalty (i have a lot of respect for players that stay loyal to their team, Marky said he could never see himself in any other nhl team's jersey, and he never wore anther jersey), you give him that freaking contract, and he wasn't even bad at that point, to me that one was absolutely disgusting and disrespectful... I was mad

Another blunder to add to Bergevin's legacy. Never able to replace him, and when we were, we got rid of the player for a hometown boy.
PHL update on Mike Cichy
He's on pace for his first under 1 PPG year with 17 pts in 24 games.
All-time scoring:
28th in point with 395 (top 20 at 427)
42nd in goals with 168 (top 40 at 171, top 35 at 183)
24th in assists with 227 (top20 at 237, top 15 at 257)

Pfff.. In this current situation, he would help as an actual skating defensemen!
Hell, I would actually seriously 100% do it. Give him his 1000 games in a Habs uniform. Who cares about the rest. Markov was one the Habs great, stuck in a shitty era.

We just interviewed Former Hab Morgan Ellis.
Personally, We would like to see him make the Olympic team with the NHLers not going.
