Not saying he isn't, but IMO he's not top five in the league. Some people claim he's top three, right up there with Lidstrom and Chara. That is not the case IMO.
He's definitely top 5, no doubt about that. The only d-men I would take ahead of him right now are Chara (ugghh, that hurts), Phaneuf (Who I think is the best), and Lidstrom (That beautiful swedish meatball)

rumours

Habs priorities in defense: Beauchemin, Ohlund, Komisarek, Morris or Schneider. Possible trade for Phaneuf.

Forwards: Sedins, Havlat, Cammalleri, Gaborik, Tanguay(done?), Kovalev(done?). Lecavalier or Thornton still possible.


I have my doubts on some of that.

*****

I can see Komisarek go to the Rags, Isles or Washington. There's a rumour to Boston but I doubt it. Him and Julien didn't get along.

I can see us re-sign Kostopoulos.

L.A and Vancouver would love to add Gaborik.

Havlat lives in MTL during the summer so I think we'll end up with him.

Hossa could go to NY.

Brian Burke LOVES the Sedins.

I don't see Tanguay re-signing with us if we land Havlat, Hossa or Gaborik.

Koivi joining his brother in Minny or friend Temmu in Anaheim.

Don't want Gionta. Good linkup with Gomez but we need to get bigger.

I'd sign Boynton or Scuderi with Beauchemin for the D.

Clemmenson, Biron, Roloson or Tellqvist would be a nice backup to Price if we can trade Halak.

It's funny you can't talk to the players before 12pm and at 12:01pm you got 20 players signing with new clubs. That's some fast negotiations right there. :rolleyes:

There's still Hossa, Gaborik, Cammalleri, Gionta and Havlat.

Hossa- Don't want
Gaborik- Too Injury Prone, if signed he better come cheap
Cammalleri- Another shrimp on the Habs barbie
Gionta- yeah, right, he's even smaller than Cammalleri
Havlat- Now you're talking

Kovalev re-signed. 2years 8.8 million.

That's not bad.


Apparently Komisarek is close to the Islanders for close to Bouwmeester figures.

You gotta be kidding. What am I missing here??
