Notable brief stint Hab players

[Saundies]

Only one to add is Alex Tanguay

Him too.

I remember really liking the Donald Audette acquisition at the time too. Shame he ended up getting that horrific injury.

 

[Justin11]

These are for me in recent years:
Radulov
Kovalchuk
Monahan

NM: Sebastian Aho

​

 

[Rob Sense]

Tomas Kaberle...25 points in 53 games

 

[Whalers Fan]

Sebastian Aho.

Edit: I see someone beat me to it.

 

[Redux91]

Kovalchuk.
That is all.

 

[V13]

Janne Niinimaa because he have us that legendary pic . That gotta count for something no ?



On a more serious note...Eric Lindros with he Nordiques

 

[LaP]

I'd say Brian Bellows if 2 years and a half count.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Sergei Gonchar
Mathieu Schneider, part 2
Michael Ryder, part 2
Shayne Corson, part 2
Stéphane Richer, part 2
Doug Gilmour
Dave Manson
Gary Leeman
Rob Ramage

 

[BLNY]

Murray Baron.

 

[1909]

Kovalchuk, Perry, Radulov, Deslauriers, Gonchar, Wiz, Moore, Johnson,



!!!! Merrill, Staal, Gustafson, King

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I absolutely loved watching Ilya Kovalchuk for the 1 month we had him.

That Bergevin team was so bad that Kovalchuk was arguably our best player.

Pacioretty-DD-Cole was one of our best lines in the last 20 years

 

[Walrus26]

Both of them good pickups. Moore was good during Halakian run to conference finals. Jeff Halpern and Mike Weaver I liked also

Agreed on Dominic Moore - he was strong in his role in that magic run, alright.

Does Radulove count as a brief stint? If it does, then it's him. If not, then that washed-up, past-it Russian guy who still had the magic shot and hands......Ilya something or other ;-)

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Dick Duff. One of Sam Pollack's lesser heralded pick ups in the 64/65 season, Duff played just over 5 seasons with Montreal and helped Montreal win 4 Stanley Cups in the late 1960s. A skillful, undersized forward, Duff often played with Beliveau and provided the Canadiens with that all important secondary scoring. One of my favorite players of all time, I still remember Duff scoring one of the greatest 2 on 0 goals (with Lemaire) in NHL playoff history against a maskless and helpless Glen Hall.

 

[Vachon23]

I was so hype when we got Vanek. Probably the acquisition I was the more happy about

I really like James Wisnewski too

 

[Habs13]

Kovalchuk was a dream come true for me

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Karl alzner
Alexander semin
Mike Hoffman
Jiri sekac
Bryan flynn
Dwight king
David schlemko
Jakub jerabek
Joe morrow

Kenny Agostino
Michael chaput

you forgot Steve Ott and Andreas Martinson

 

[Riggins]

Glen Metropolit was surprisingly good for us

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

I really liked The Wiz when he was with the Habs.

 

[Paddyjack]

Jaroslav Halak, not even 100 games with us, but man, he carried us one year.

And.... let's not forget the great..... Vladislav Tretiak!!!

How did you forget the 30 games played by the immortal Logan Shaw! Another homerun by Bozovin

 

[Naslundforever]

Big Georges Laraque. If you’re going to ice a goon ice the best one like Carbo said.

 

[EXPOS123]

Perry was by far the best short term pickup. Although he was on his last legs, he brought the one thing this org. hasn't had in 30 years up front - balls and net front presence.

 

[donghabs98]

Wisniewski was awesome for us, wanted to re-sign him.

Also agree with Robert Lang, made an awesome contribution during his short stay here.

Two goals come to mind for both players

Clutch goal to start the comeback and then OT winning goal


Lang had a fatty this night and scored a beauty goal. Our season collapsed after he got hurt.
