Souray=McCabeI think both players are defensively challenged and are not the smoothest with stick handling in the defensive zone. On the other side of the ice they have the ability to move in with the puck and blast it by any goalie in the league. PP specialists.Roger Lerioux I think thats the spelling on the Fan590 brought up a good point about McCabe and his huge contract, if he continues to be a liabilty defensively switch him to the forward position. I think he can be a real gritty winger, cause havoc in front of the net, and have a sizzling shot on odd man rushes. Remember Clark was a defenseman throughout his junior career than moved up and became a solid winger. Imagine Souray and McCabe as wingers I think both can do it.

Very interesting...As bad as Mccabe is defensively I dont think he is as bad as people think he is...It would be interesting to try though..Play him as 2nd or 3 line winger and put him on the point on the PP....I still think Kaberle and Mccabe on the point is a deadly combo

Souray has not been anywhere near the defensive liability he has been in the past.

i've heard this argument for Sourray also, put him up front. Sourray isn't nearly as mobile as McCabe, he's slower and isn't a very good at puck handling. In their defence tho they do spend alot of time on the ice so they will be there for alot of goal and mistakes are bound to happen with that much ice time.And serge, you couldn't be more disrespectful twoards my nationality right now, would you post about pissing on an american flag, twice, well you might but it's out of line. I'd prefer it if you keep personal attacks out of this forum.

I apologize about your nationality....I didnt mean it as a disrespect to the french population...I just meant it as a disrespect to the Montreal hockey team..Again thats not what I meant at all...and sorry if it came out wrong...however I will throw up on the Canadiens logo anyday...

looks like the coach might have lit a fire under our captain. What a friggin goal baby! Also is it just me or do you have to shut your eyes every time ninnima has a shift? That has to go down as one of the worst trades the habs have made in a while.

I remember when that trade when down and I groaned. Even not a Habs fan I thought that was Brutal.

It is a lot of money but Markov is Montreal's best all-around d-man and is entering his prime years. Add the fact that not a lot of quality d-men are available as UFA's this year and he may have received even better offers. I'm happy with paying that much money for a #1 d-man.

Do you try to resign Souray?

For sure! I'm not sure how high Gainey is willing/able to go but without looking at Montreal's cap numbers I'm thinking Gainey will go as high as $4.5 per.

I really like Montreal's potential if they can get Souray locked up, having their two top D, and a ton of offensive potential in their young guys. Who knows, maybe Samsonov and Kovy will pick it up . Seriously though, they look good.

What a joke...Mccabe is so much better than Markov...Mccabe looks like a bargain now...
